Study Notes
Formation and Surface Pressure
- Formation pressure (Pf) at Total Depth (TD): 12231 psi at 15,880 ft.
- Surface pressure calculation: 12331 – 0.184 x 15880 results in 9309 psi.
- At surface, internal pressure equals 9309 psi, external pressure is 0 psi.
Radial and Tangential Stresses
-
Radial stress at r = di:
[- \frac{6.094^2 \times 9309}{7^2 \times 6.094^2} = -9309 psi] -
Tangential stress calculation:
[ t = \frac{6.094^2 \times 9309 - 0}{\frac{7^2 \times 6.094^2}{6} \times (7 - 6.094) } = 67,591 psi]
Axial Stress Calculation
- Axial stress (a) formula:
[ a = \left( \frac{air , weight}{casing , cross-sectional , area} \right) - buouyancy , force ] - Inserting values:
[ a = \left[ \frac{32 \times 15880}{9.3173} \right] - \left[ 16 \times 0.052 \times (15880 - 12915) + 0.052 \times 12915 \times 15.6 \right] ]
Yielding 41,596 psi.
Von Mises Stress Calculation
- Von Mises stress formula:
[ VM = \frac{a + t + \sqrt{(t^2 + a^2)}}{2} ] - Substituting values yields 67,922 psi.
Factor of Safety (DF)
- Factor of Safety (DF) formula:
[ DF = \frac{Material , Yield , Stress}{VM} = \frac{110,000}{67,922} \approx 1.6]
Pressure Evaluations
- Internal pressures can be analyzed at various critical points along the casing string (e.g., top of cement or shoe).
- Axial stress equation:
[ a = 0.5 C_1 P_i + 0.5 C_1 P_i + 4 C_3 P_i^2 ] - The quadratic equation provides both positive and negative roots for internal pressure.
Ellipse Construction
- The lower part of the ellipse is created by setting internal pressure to zero and using material yield strength.
- Axial stress for external pressure defined as:
[ a = 0.5 C_2 P_e + 0.5 C_2 P_e + 4 C_4 P_e^2 ]
Collapse Pressure Calculation
- Collapse pressure is calculated as:
[ Collapse , Pressure = External , Pressure - Internal , Pressure ] - Typical assumptions for a simplified collapse design:
- Casing is assumed empty due to lost circulation.
- Internal pressure inside casing is zero.
- External pressure results from the mud density applied at the casing setting depth (CSD).
Conclusion
- Simplified formula for collapse pressure:
[ C = mud , density \times depth \times acceleration , due , to , gravity ]
In psi:
[ C = 0.052 \times mud , density \times CSD , (ft) ] - Recognize severe assumptions applied in this model occur only under special circumstances.
