This session focuses on practical approaches to well and casing design that enhance integrity from spud to production. Topics include evolving design trends, critical considerations during drilling, casing installation, and cementing, and best practices. Operators will share field experiences and lessons learned, emphasizing how early design decisions and cross-functional planning can reduce deformation risk, issues during completions, costly interventions, and loss of lateral length.
