    Abstract The methods to design the casings used in oilfields, are currently based on the assumptions that the remote crustal-stress-field is axially symmetric, in plane strain. However, most of the failures of the casings are caused by non-uniform and asymmetric far-field crustal stresses, so that it is necessary for a proper design of the casings, to investigate and understand the casing's behavior under non-uniform far-field crustal stresses. A mechanical model is first established for the system, consisting of the casing and formation, by using the plane strain theory of linear elasticity. The non-uniform crustal stress is… More >
