    Abstract: System and methods for optimizing wellbore tubular design are provided. Design parameters for a wellbore tubular component are determined based on different types of axial loads expected during a downhole operation. The design parameters include load conditions at load points along the tubular component. An equivalent axial load is calculated for each load point, based on the corresponding load conditions. Design limits for the different types of axial loads are determined based on associated design parameters. A counter-load pressure is determined for at least one load point selected for each type of axial load, based on the corresponding equivalent axial load for each load point and a corresponding design limit for each type of axial load. At least one of the design limits is adjusted for the different types of axial loads, based on the counter-load pressure of the selected load point for each type of axial load.

    Abstract: A system can receive data relating to a tubular of a well system. The system can execute a first module to determine first outputs. The system can execute a second module to determine second outputs based on the first outputs. The system can execute a third module to determine third outputs based on the first outputs. The second outputs can include a crack-initiation fracture pressure, and the third outputs can include a crack-propagation fracture pressure. The system can identify a brittle-burst strength of the tubular from among the second outputs, the third outputs, and a standard burst strength of the tubular. The system can provide the brittle-burst strength of the tubular to facilitate an adjustment to the tubular to optimize a wellbore operation associated with the well system.

    Abstract: A well operation simulator predicts temperature and pressure profiles of a multi-tubing completion well for well design. The simulator is comprised of modules, which when executed, determine a first set of design limits based on stress conditions arising from the temperature and pressure profiles from a multi-tubing drilling module and a multi -tubing production module for drilling and production operations. A multi-tubing multi-string module predicts the annular fluid expansion (AFE) and annular pressure buildup (APB) of the multi-tubing well from the previously calculated temperature profile, pressure profile, and stress conditions and determines a second set of design limits with the AFE/APB effects in addition to the temperature profile and pressure profile predicted from multi-tubing drilling module and multi-tubing production module. The first and second sets of design limits are depicted using one or

    Abstract: A method for designing a borehole tubular for use in a borehole. The method may include defining tubular sections that make up the borehole tubular, defining a downhole operation that will be conducted using the borehole tubular at a first timestamp, determining loads that will be applied to each of the tubular sections at respective specific depths along the borehole during the downhole operation at the first timestamp, determining a design limit envelope for each of the tubular sections at the first timestamp based on design parameters of the tubular section and the specific depth of the tubular section at the first timestamp, and displaying a three-dimensional (3D) plot of the design limit envelopes of the tubular sections and the loads applied to the tubular sections as a function of depth within the borehole on a display.

    Abstract: The disclosure presents processes for improving the design phase of tubular structures to be used downhole in a borehole. A hybrid collapse strength model can be utilized that uses a linear collapse strength model for an initial percentage range based on the initial wall thickness of the tubular structure. A standards collapse strength model can be used once a wall thickness threshold is not satisfied. In some aspects, a transition collapse strength model can be used prior to the standards collapse strength model to avoid discontinuities in the analysis. The hybrid collapse strength model can enable more efficient use of tubular structures, designing a longer operational lifetime, or the use of thinner structures while maintaining a satisfactory operational lifetime. Lower operational costs of the borehole can be achieved through using less expensive tubular structures and through a reduction of costs associated with replacing a section of casing within the borehole.
