Project Number 285
Date of Summary October 31, 2000
Subject Assessment and Reliability of Production and Tubing Design
Performing Activity Mohr Research and Engineering, Inc.
Principal Investigator Ken Riggs
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion June 2001
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.
