Tubing Stability and Buckling
Course Description
The Tubular Stability and Buckling Analysis short course provides explanations and examples for the aspects of oilfield tubular design related to tubular stability and buckling. Both uniform and non-uniform loading is covered. Combination loading considerations are envisioned and design procedures are outline and practiced.
What You Will Learn
What You Will Take Away
Who Should Attend
Engineers and other technically orientated persons involved in tubular design, as well as practical supervisors who want to understand the basis for the design of the tubulars being run in their wells.
