casing

Rotary drilling is a powerful tool used in many different industries, but it’s not without its risks. One of those risks is casings breaking and flying off the drill bit, potentially injuring personnel or damaging equipment. To help mitigate this risk, it’s important to know the different casing types available and choose the right one for your job. In this article, we will discuss the different types of casing and their benefits and drawbacks. We will also provide tips on how to select the right type for your drilling project.

What are the different casing types?

Rotary drilling rigs come in a variety of casing types, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Here are the most common:

Open Hole Casing
This is the most basic type of casing, used for shallow drilling or when it's not necessary to avoid potential environmental hazards. It has a simple design made up of a cylindrical pipe that's open at both ends. The drill bit rotates inside the pipe, breaking through the rock below and allowing oil and gas to flow into the well.

Close Hole Casing
This type of casing is similar to open hole tubo casing, but it includes a series of smaller diameter pipes that are closely fitted together. The purpose is to protect the environment by preventing wastewater and oil from leaking out during drilling. The holes created by the drill bits are then sealed using rubber or plastic plugs.

Reinforced Concrete Casing
This type of casing is made out of reinforced concrete and is designed to resist damage from both water and rock formations. It typically has circular shapes that are about 3 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep. The concrete provides protection against damage from heavy equipment while also acting as an acoustic dampener, helping to keep noise levels down during drilling operations.

When installing close hole casings, it's important to seal all the openings created by the drill bit with either rubber or plastic plugs (depending on the type of well being drilled). If

How to choose the right casing type for your drilling project?

When drilling a well, it is important to choose the right casing type for your project. There are several casing types available on the market, and it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your situation.

Here are four factors to consider when choosing a casing type: the depth of the well, the type of rock you are drilling through, how much water pressure you will be dealing with, and your budget.

Casing Types for Drilling Wells

There are three main types of casings used in rotary drilling: cemented steel pipe (CSP), cemented plastic pipe (CPP), and cast iron pipe (CIP). CSP and CPP are both made from plastic materials that are encased inside a steel pipe. Cast iron is also a common

casing starter material, but it is usually not encased in plastic.


The casing type you choose depends on the depth of the well and the type of rock you are drilling through. For wells that are less than 1000 feet deep, using CSP or CPP is typically recommended because they have a low coefficient of friction and offer good resistance to cracking. However, if you plan on drilling deeper than 1000 feet or if you are drilling through hard rocks such as granite or basalt, using cast iron may be a better option.

Water Pressure
Drilling into hard rocks requires more pressure than drilling into soft rocks, so choosing a casing type that can
