Description |
The
purpose of this project was to examine the design and reliability of
production tubing used in oil and gas wells on the Outer Continental Shelf.
The study assessed the current design criteria for production tubing as well
as assess actual practices for wells in the Gulf of Mexico. It identified
and evaluated tubing-related failures to determine if there were common
failures and failure modes. |
Progress |
The JIP members identified target well for data
collection and determined what data is needed for the study. A webpage was
set up with a database for JIP members to enter well data. |
