Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for preventing casing damage due to high axial loading in a well as a result of compaction of the surrounding earth formations. The method consists of providing specially sized and located grooves on both the inside and outside diameters of a section of well casing. The grooves are designed and spacers may be used in some grooves to ensure symmetrical deformation of the casing when subjected to a compressive loading.
