Question: Do casing design for the following 8 . 5 in vertical well based on burst, collapse, and tension in the most cost - effective way.

Do casing design for the following 8.5 in vertical well based on burst, collapse, and tension in the
most cost-effective way. Safety factors for tension, collapse, and burst are 1.5,1.125, and 1.1,
respectively. We only have K55,23lbfft and L80,29lbfft with buttress (BUTT) thread type in our
stock. Your design will be used to purchase casing strings for the 200 wells required to develop
the field. Also, calculate how much your company will save if you do a multi-string design versus
a single-string one.
Note I: We will run a 7" production casing from the surface to 9,000ft depth.
Note II: The well will be put on a gas lift later in its lifespan.
Note III: The well will be stimulated using the hydraulic fracturing technique.
Note IV: The density of the water-based fracturing fluid is 8.4lbmgal.
Note V : The density of the completion fluid is 10.6lbmgal.
CSD=9,000ft
dPpdD=0.55ft
MW=10.8-11.2ppg
F.G.=0.71ft
Casing OD=7in
Gas Gradient =0.15ft
