Casing - Production Casing

Production Casing

Production casing is usually the last full string of pipe set in a well. These strings are run to isolate producing formations and provide for selective production in multi-zone production areas. The size of production casing will depend on the expected production rate, the higher the barrel per day production rate, the larger the inside diameter of the pipe. Common sizes are between 3 and 7 inch (outside diameter).
