Special Casing for 95mm Side Drill

Special Casing for 95mm Side Drill

Windows are drilled in the side wall of an existing well casing to create a new borehole. The process includes well preparation, window drilling, lateral drilling, and completion with cementing. The 95 mm casing is specifically designed for lateral drilling operations in small boreholes.

Product Specifications: Φ95mm

Steel grade: N80 1/Q, P110

    Features

    The 95 mm side drilling casing (3¾″, also known as a small casing) is a non-API-standard small-hole completion casing used for windowing and side drilling within existing φ139.7 mm (5½″) or φ177.8 mm (7″) well casings, primarily designed for well reactivation, casing damage repair, and maximizing remaining oil recovery potential.

    Small Size, Easy to Insert

    Specifically designed for side drilling in φ139.7 mm casing windows, with a ring space gap of approximately 11.4 mm, ensuring excellent centering and uniform cement annulus distribution to minimize the risks of drill sticking and cementing failure.

    Non-API-specific, Highly Adaptable

    The outer diameter and inner diameter do not comply with API standards, but the threads are manufactured according to API 5B specifications, enabling direct compatibility with conventional packers and stabilizers as well as existing tool strings.

    High Intensity, Deformation-resistant

    Manufactured from high-grade steels such as N80/P110, with a post-heat treatment yield strength of ≥550 MPa and excellent resistance to bending and extrusion damage, making it suitable for shallow-side drilling (up to 3000 m) and heavy oil thermal recovery wells.

    Advantages

    • Resuming production at the old well helps reduce costs

      Compared to conventional drilling, side drilling combined with 95 mm casing completion reduces costs by 40–60% and shortens the cycle time by 50%, effectively revitalizing damaged or low-yield wells.

    • The quality of the cementing process is reliable

      The optimized design features a 6.5 mm wall thickness and a 11.4 mm annular space, combined with a specialized alignment tool to ensure pipe column centering, complete cement annulus formation, and effective sealing of oil-water layers, thereby reducing flow risks.

    • There are sufficient production channels

      With an inner diameter of 82.3 mm, it can easily accommodate φ60.3 mm oil pipes and stratification tools, meeting requirements for stratified extraction, water injection, fracturing operations, and offering significant potential for future modifications.

    • Adapt to multiple operating conditions

      Suitable for thermal recovery of heavy oil, high-viscosity oil, sandstone reservoirs, casing damage repair, deepening of existing wells, resistance to H₂S/CO₂ corrosion, and extending wellbore service life.
