abstract
Background: Casing a wellbore is an integral part of drilling and completing oil and gas wells. In this project, a 13,000 foot test gas well in the Dripping Rock field near Wamsutter, Wyoming was used as a model for the design project. Economic and safety concerns are two major considerations for this design. Method: Using similar nearby wells and principles of drilling and completion engineering, a recommendation for casing this well was created. Results: A complete casing program was created after considering three different preliminary designs. The most viable is a two-string design using 7 casing from surface to 10,500 feet and finishing with 5 casing in the target formation. Conclusion: Based on similar well casing programs in the area and the criteria learned for drilling and completion engineering, it is felt that the design created is adequate while remaining economic. note
