- Description
- Casing Tube Cold worked and cold hardened (Cold-Drawn). Made of stainless steel. The outer tubes are called casing. Casing lines the wellbore and thus protects the layers of soil and above all the groundwater from being contaminated by the drilling mud and/or frac fluids. It also stabilizes the wellbore, so casing must be able to withstand especially high loads. The drilling and casing alternate – the drill string is taken out at specific intervals and the wellbore is lined with casing and cemented. Then drilling continues. The tubes have smooth surfaces and need to be threaded before being used as casing tubes.
