Service loads
The previous article presented the methods to quantify the installation and as-landed loads. The purpose of this article is to present methods to quantify the changes in stress in the cemented casing due to departure from the as-cemented conditions caused by changes in pressure and temperature.
The temperature related service loads and the estimation of the increase in annulus pressures is discussed in detail previously.
The resulting changes in stress should be added to the as-cemented stress to result in a new stress state.
The as-cemented stress . . .
