Casing

Casing

Definition(s)

Casing

Pipe installed in the wellbore and usually cemented in place to retain the borehole dimension and seal off hydrocarbon and water-bearing formations.
  1. Surface casing: The outside and first pipe string installed in the wellbore, except for drive pipe or conductor pipe, to seal off surface sands; provide support for blowout prevention equipment and blowout protection; prevent loss of circulation while drilling deeper; and to protect fresh water sources. This casing is normally run to a depth below the base of the fresh water zones and cemented in place.
  2. Protective (intermediate) casing: A pipe string extending to the wellhead and installed inside of surface casing in wells of such depth without which drilling fluid cannot be balanced because of simultaneous lost circulation and high pressure entry of another zone, or in regions where abnormal pressure gradients are encountered.
  3. Production casing: The full length pipe string extending between the wellhead and an elevation at or below the producing formation, inside of protective or surface casing, and cemented in place to seal off productive zones and waterbearing formations.
  4. Liner: The partial length pipe string extending between the bottom of the borehole to an elevation above the bottom of the previous casing string. The liner may perform the same function as protective or production casing in sealing off producing zones and water-bearing formations. Liner may or may not be cemented in place. This term can also refer to a partial length pipe string set inside casing as a patch string.
  5. Tubing: Pipe installed in the wellbore inside casing strings and extending from the wellhead to a depth below, at, or above a producing, disposal, or injection formation. This is the pipe through which the produced or injected fluids flow.
