The Paradigm Sysdrill Casing Design system allows the drilling engineer to safely design the minimum number of casing strings required to safely complete a well, which can reduce well capital costs.
Casing setting depths can be automatically calculated based on pressure data and user-defined constraints such as trip margin, kick tolerance, and maximum open hole distance.
Users can specify fully customizable design load cases according to company policy and store them in catalogs for future use.
The analysis offers half biaxial, full biaxial and tri-axial stress checks for axial, burst, and collapse failure modes for multiple grades of casing.
A single graphical analysis showing design factor against safety factor for all design stages (installation, drilling, and production) enables quick identification of problematic loading conditions.
You can import a temperature profile to derate casing yield and calculate thermal expansion effects for the most accurate analysis.
Paradigm Sysdrill Casing Wear
Paradigm Sysdrill Casing Wear can be used to predict internal casing wear for a number of drilling operations and derate casing thickness for burst and collapse calculations. Alternatively, a caliper log can be imported as percentage wear and used in the calculation.
