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.

Abstract: A method for assessing an integrity of metal tubular structures may comprise receiving one or more inputs, applying an algorithm to automatically select an appropriate model for a given corrosion scenario, applying a combined model including semi-empirical and multiphase flow corrosion characteristics to the one or more inputs, determining one or more corrosion parameters of either an internal pipe wall, an external pipe surface, or both, applying a corrosion correlation value to the one or more corrosion parameters to produce one or more correlated corrosion parameters, and storing the one or more correlated corrosion parameters on a computer readable medium. A system may comprise an information handling system which may comprise at least one memory operable to store computer-executable instructions, at least one communications interface to access the at least one memory, and at least one processor.

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: A method for simulating the effects of rupture disk failure on annular fluid expansion in sealed and open annuli to mitigate annular pressure buildup in a wellbore comprises the steps of: determining whether an internal region or an external region for a pair of casing string annuli is open; and calculating at least one of an adjusted internal annular pressure buildup and an adjusted external annular pressure buildup for at least one of the internal annular region and the external annular region of the casing string annuli.

Abstract: A system can determine a temperature profile based on a prior production temperature profile and a reference start point pressure for a well. The system can virtually divide the well into a plurality of sections including uphill sections and downhill sections. The system can determine a gas-oil interface depth for each section of the plurality of sections from a water-oil ratio and a gas-oil ratio based on the temperature profile and the reference start point pressure. The system can determine an oil-water interface depth for each section of the plurality of sections from the gas-oil ratio and the water-oil ratio based on the temperature profile and the reference start point pressure.

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.
