“…Solid expandable tubular is developed specifically to allow additional casing strings to be run to cover up problem zones to facilitate drilling a well to the ERD target (Wallace and Fritsch, 2009). It aims at cutting down the costs incurred in well drilling and completion by providing smaller casing schemes, cheaper completions, as well as lower-cost work-over and casing repairs (Campo et al, 2003;Contreras et al, 2010;Durst and Ruzic, 2009). Nylund et al (2010) presented a recent case history explaining how these tubular systems have facilitated multiple exploration and development projects in a region with drilling and completion challenges, especially by planning SET into the basis of the design to preserve the well-hole size and reduce non-productive drilling time.…”
