OCTG tubing vs casing products
Understanding the difference between tubing and casing products is fundamental to ensuring well integrity and environmental safety during the drilling process.
Tubing
- Runs inside the casing to transport oil, gas or other fluids
- Installed at well completion for production operations
- Handles internal pressures from fluid flow
- Smaller diameter and flexible steel grades for efficiency
Casing
- Lines the wellbore to maintain structural integrity
- Installed during drilling and cemented in place
- Handles external pressures from the surrounding formation
- Larger diameter and heavier steel grades for durability
