Abstract

An uncertainty analysis method is proposed for the assessment of the residual strength of a casing subjected to wear and non-uniform load in a deep well. The influence of casing residual stress, out-of-roundness and non-uniform load is considered. The distribution of multi-source parameters related to the residual anti extrusion strength and residual anti internal pressure strength of the casing after wear are determined using the probability theory. Considering the technical casing of X101 well in Xinjiang Oilfield as an example, it is shown that the randomness of casing wear depth, formation elastic modulus and formation Poisson’s ratio are the main factors that affect the uncertainty of residual strength. The wider the confidence interval is, the greater the uncertainty range is. Compared with the calculations resulting from the proposed uncertainty analysis method, the residual strength obtained by means of traditional single value calculation method is either larger or smaller, which leads to the conclusion that the residual strength should be considered in terms of a range of probabilities rather than a single value.
