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 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: The disclosure addresses the existing gap in tubular designs and monitoring of tubulars in wellbores by considering high temperature, cyclic thermal loading effects. An example method of designing tubular for use in a well is provided that includes: (1) receiving a well configuration for a well and at least one type of well operation for the well, (2) receiving a selection of a tubular for use in the well, (3) generating a temperature history and a pressure history for the well using the well configuration, the selection of the tubular, the at least one type of well operation, and one or more simulators, and (4) determining, using the temperature history and the pressure history, a derated strength of the tubular based on one or more effects of high temperature, cyclic thermal loadings on the tubular.

Abstract: A method for determining annular fluid expansion (“AFE”) within a borehole with a sealed casing string annulus. The method may include defining a configuration of the borehole. The method may further include defining a production operation and a borehole operation. The method may also include determining AFE within the borehole when performing the production operation. The method may further include determining AFE within the borehole when performing the borehole operation based on the AFE within the borehole when performing the production operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining vector-ratio safety factors for wellbore tubular design are provided. Pressure and temperature data for at least one load point along a tubular component of a wellbore are obtained. An effective failure axial load expected at the load point is calculated during a downhole operation to be performed along one or more sections of the wellbore within a subsurface formation, based on the obtained data. An upper boundary and a lower boundary for the effective failure axial load are determined, based on physical properties of the tubular component at the load point. A midpoint of the effective failure axial load is calculated based on the upper and lower boundaries. A critical failure differential pressure is calculated, based on the midpoint of the effective failure axial load. A vector-ratio safety factor is calculated, based on the critical failure differential pressure relative to the effective failure axial load.
