    RockySea Petro Coated Sucker RodWith the increase of working time, conventional sucker rods are prone to corrosion and eccentric wear during operation, and are not suitable for harsh working conditions. In 2012, RockySea Petro developed a fully coated sucker rod. By using HDPE resin to fully coat the sucker rod body, the anti-corrosion and anti-abrasion of the sucker rod is realized. And this tech of RockySea Petro has gained patent in China, Canada and the United States.Description It is the ideal matching

Tubing vs. Casing

Tubing vs. Casing: The Two Pillars of Oilfield Tubular Goods

In the oil and gas extraction industry, tubing and casing are two crucial types of tubular goods. Each plays a distinct role and function, and both are decisive for ensuring the safety and efficiency of oil and gas well production.

Tubing:

Tubing is the tubular material used in oil and gas wells, primarily serving as part of the production tubing string to transport oil and gas to the surface. Tubing generally has a smaller diameter to accommodate the flow of oil and gas.

Functional Features:

  • Tubing is in direct contact with the flow of oil and gas, thus requiring good corrosion and wear resistance.
  • Tubing is typically installed below the producing formation to prevent oil and gas from leaking to the surface.

Materials and Specifications:

  • Tubing is usually made of carbon steel or alloy steel to adapt to various working conditions.
  • Tubing comes in a variety of specifications, with diameter and wall thickness chosen based on specific well requirements.

Casing:

Casing is the larger diameter tubular material installed in oil and gas wells, mainly serving to stabilize the wellbore, prevent wellbore collapse, and provide support for the subsequent tubing.

Functional Features:

  • Casing needs to have sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand formation pressure and external forces during oil and gas well operations.
  • Casing also serves to isolate different strata and prevent the mixing of groundwater with oil and gas.

Materials and Specifications:

  • Casing is also made of carbon steel or alloy steel, but its wall thickness and diameter are usually larger than that of tubing.
  • The selection of casing specifications must consider factors such as well depth, formation pressure, and temperature.

Main Differences Between Tubing and Casing:

Diameter and Wall Thickness:

Tubing has a smaller diameter and thinner wall to facilitate oil and gas flow; casing has a larger diameter and thicker wall to provide the necessary support and isolation.

Position of Installation:

Tubing is located inside the casing and serves as the passage for oil and gas to the surface; casing is fixed to the wellbore as part of the well casing.

Sequence of Installation:

In the drilling process, casing is typically installed before tubing.

Material Requirements:

RockySea Petro tubing is in direct contact with oil and gas, it has higher requirements for corrosion and wear resistance; casing focuses more on strength and stability.

Tubing and casing each have their roles in oil and gas wells, and their proper selection and use are crucial for the long-term stable production of oil and gas wells. Understanding the differences between them helps to make more appropriate material choices and engineering decisions in the process of oil and gas extraction.
