Introduction to Casing & Tubing Design Course for Non-Engineers

2-Day Course

The intended audience is for sales and supply personnel, non-engineers and operations personnel who are involved with ordering and supporting the OCTG industry sector.

This 2-day session covers introductory topics in casing and tubing design. The course is structured such that upon completion, participants should have better understanding of:

  • Casing and tubing design and applications

  • Why certain weights, grades, and connections are selected for use from a conceptual level

An overview of commonly used special requirements from API 5CT will also be covered along with recommended QA inspections.

Attendees are encouraged to bring in their own OCTG inventories and tubular issues (both past and present) to use for discussion.
