    (1) The engineer was tasked to design a 95⁄8-inch surface casing string with a setting depth of 3250 ft considering burst, collapse, and tension loads. (2) Key parameters included a mud weight of 9.2 ppg, formation gradient of 0.47 psi/ft, fracture gradient of 14 ppg, and minimum drift of 8.5 in. (3) The design consisted of two sections, with the first from 0-1950 ft using 36 lb/ft H-40 casing and the second from 1950-3250 ft using 36 lb/ft J-55 casing.

    TEST 2

    MKPP 1413 (DRILLING ENGINEERING & WELL COMPLETION) SEMESTER 2,


    SESSION 2020/2021

    Instructions: (1) Answer the following question. (2) Please write your name on answer papers
    and consolidate all your answers into one PDF file prior to uploading into UTM e-learning
    site before the due time of 19 June 2021. (3) Failure to follow instruction (2) will result in zero
    mark.

    As Well Completion Engineer, you have been tasked to design a 9⅝-inch surface casing string with
    its setting depth at 3250 ft. The load that must be considered is burst, collapse, and tension (casing
    body and joint strength) only. The design safety factor for burst and collapse is 1.1 while tension is
    1.7. The casing string must consist of two different sections with the optimum section
    discrimination depth is found to be at 1950 ft. Other informations given are mud weight set in is
    9.2 ppg, formation water gradient is 0.47 psi/ft, gas kick gradient is 0.12 psi/ft, fracture gradient at
    shoe is 14.0 ppg, minimum drift is 8.50 in, and safety factor for injection pressure 1.0. (Note: Please
    use a proper graph paper and all values of interval of the x- and y-axis must be clearly shown.
    Failure to comply any of the two instructions will result in zero mark for your plot.) (30 marks)

    Given Data:
    • A 9⅝-inch surface casing string
    • Setting Depth (SD) = 3250 ft
    • The load that must be considered is burst, collapse, and tension (casing body and joint
    strength)
    • Safety Factor = 1.1 @ burst and collapse
    • safety factor for tension is 1.7
    • The casing string must consist of two different sections with the optimum section
    discrimination depth is found to be at 1950 ft
    • mud weight set in is 9.2 ppg
    • formation water gradient is 0.47 psi/ft
    • gas kick gradient is 0.12 psi/ft
    • Fracture Gradient (FG) = 14.0 ppg
    • minimum drift is 8.50 in
    • Safety Factor (SF) = 1.0 @ injection pressure
    Muhammad Haziq Bin Yussof MKP201005

    Solution:
    1. Injection Pressure = (F.G + S.F) (S.D) (0.052)
    = (14.0 + 1.0) (3250) (0.052)
    = 2535 psi
    2. Surface Pressure = Injection Pressure – gas hydrostatic pressure
    = 2535 – (0.12psi/ft) (3250)
    = 2145 psi
    3. Plot the burst and collapse designs
    a) Back-up Line = Formation water gradient x h
    pressure @ Top = 0.052 x 9.2 x 3250ft = 1555 psi < Pressure @ Top
    pressure @ Bottom = 0.052 x 9.2 x 0 ft = 0 psi < Pressure @ Bottom

    b) Resultant line = load – back up


    pressure @ Top = surface pressure – surface hydrostatic pressure
    = 2145 psi – 0 psi = 2145 psi
    pressure @ Bottom = surface pressure – surface hydrostatic pressure
    = 2535 – 1555 psi = 980 psi

    c) Burst Design Line


    pressure @ Top = 2145 psi x 1.1 = 2359.5 psi
    pressure @ Bottom = 980 psi x 1.1 = 1078 psi

    d) Collapse Design = 1555 x 1.1


    = 1711 psi

    4. Plot the tension design

    W = 36 lb/ft x (3250)
    = 117000lbs > 117 Klbs

    BF = - (mud hydrostatic pressure) (pipe area)


    = - (0.052 x 9.2 x 3250) [pi/4 x (9.6252 – 8.9212 )]
    = - (1554.8) (10.25)
    = - 16 Klbs

    With safety factor


    Tension @ 3250 ft = - 16Klbs
    Tension @ surface = 117 Klbs – 16Klbs
    = 101 Klbs

    With safety factor


    Tension @ 3250 ft = (16x1.7) – 16Klbs
    = 11.2 Klbs
    Tension @ surface = 101 x 1.7
    = 171.7 Klbs
