PetroTeach offers an advanced casing design course structured as a five-day training workshop aimed at developing participants’ competency in casing design. The course addresses the engineering aspects of casing design based on first principles, providing a solid technical foundation for practical applications. A complete casing design project from an actual well is used throughout the course. Participants are guided step by step through the full API casing design calculations, including load case evaluation, coupling selection, thermal loading considerations, material selection, and well control aspects related to casing design. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to hands-on exercises. Participants are required to bring a calculator and a laptop with a spreadsheet program to actively perform design calculations. The course concludes with discussions on the operational aspects of running and cementing casing, as well as an introduction to drilling with casing operations.

Steve Nas holds a Master’s degree in Drilling Engineering from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and has accumulated more than 40 years of experience in drilling engineering. He began his career in 1977 as a mud logger with Geoservices before becoming a wellsite drilling engineer in 1980. He initially worked on rigs across the Middle East and Africa, and later joined Shell in the UK North Sea. In the mid-1990s, Steve became heavily involved in coiled tubing and underbalanced drilling operations, and subsequently in managed pressure drilling. After obtaining his Master’s degree in the late 1990s, he began teaching well engineering and has since delivered numerous courses at various levels, including to MSc students. He has also developed a wide range of specialized training programs in drilling and well engineering. Currently working as an independent consultant, Steve provides well engineering training courses and offshore coaching, particularly on technically challenging wells.
The course is designed for petroleum engineers with basic knowledge and experience in drilling
engineering. The objective is to establish a foundation for drilling engineers to be able to participate in the well planning and well operation process and design.
The participants will learn and understand:
o Casing strengths such as axial strength yield, burst and collapse
o All of the load cases and associated design factors
o Setting triaxial limits for casing and understanding combined loads
o Material selection with regards to sour gasses and partial pressures
o Thermal loading, annular pressure buildup and corrosion effects
o Buckling and wear
o Conductor casing design for land, surface BOP’s and subsea BOP’s
o Casing running operations, centralizer requirements
v Drilling with casing
