Abstract

The present work proposes a strategy for selection of well casing combining triaxial mechanical analysis in serviceability limit state and optimization techniques based on the minimum overall cost. The formulation is developed into an in-house web application system (SAEP), which allow a decoupled analysis of the oil well casing string design. The integration and analysis module allows the integrated evaluation of the applied loads and resistance of the tubulars, verifying the fulfillment of design criteria based on international normative guidelines. Structural integrity analysis is performed by combining the API envelope with the plasticity limit curve, assisting the user in the design of the casing strings.
