Handbook

The course covers both the theory and practical applications of casing design and cementing technology. The combined lectures, workshops and laboratory experiments will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the following aspects:

Casing Design - API properties of casing and casing couplings; performance properties of casing under load conditions; principles of casing design for vertical, deviated and horizontal wells.

Cementing - Cement manufacture, composition and standardisation; cement and slurry properties; cement additives; cement slurry design and calculations; cement placement and post-job evaluation.
