CASING FAILURE ANALYSIS IN STEAM INJECTION WELL OPERATIONS USING FINITE ELEMENT METHODS

Steam injection is a successful method to increase heavy-oil production. But the casing failure rates in steam injection wells are also an important concern. Severe thermal stresses causing casing failures have been reported in the past leading to downtime, high cost or low rate of production. Fa...
