Thermal well technologies, such as Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) and Steam Assisted
Gravity Drainage (SAGD), are widely used for the exploration of heavy oil and oilsands …

One of the most important functions of a tubular connection is sealability. This is especially
the case for premium connections that are commonly used in the demanding conditions of …

There are generally three types of connections used in intermediate or production casing of
thermal wells: API (American Petroleum Institute) round, API buttress and proprietary …

The integrity of perforated liners is crucial in geothermal production wells and this should be
well designed according to correct standards. The available geothermal standards, such as …

This paper proposes a new approach for modeling connection makeup, using a material
strain-rate dependant model. Abaqus analysis examples are presented to demonstrate the …

Thermal well technologies are widely used to recover heavy oil and bitumen by steam
injection methods, such as Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), Steam Drive (SD), and Steam …

Understanding of material properties for tubular design under high-pressure/high-
temperature (HP/HT) conditions goes well beyond the basics of the classic methods …

Abstract Analysis of mechanical and thermal-induced wellhead growth and resultant loads is
critical for tubular stress design and failure analysis of offshore platform wells. A particular …

High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) conditions, with pressures greater than 69
MPa and temperatures greater than 150 C, pose significant challenges for well tubular …

Various thermal recovery methods and associated well technologies, such as Cyclic Steam
Stimulation (CSS), Steam Drive (SD), and Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), have …
