API OIL COUNTRY TUBULAR GOODS

Structural and pressure integrity throughout the well.

Casing is installed in successive strings to stabilize the wellbore, isolate formations, protect freshwater zones and provide a pressure-containing barrier for drilling, completion and production. Selection is governed by the well design—not by outside diameter alone.

OAK PIPE coordinates casing, couplings, pup joints, connection requirements, inspection and export delivery against the customer’s casing program and purchase specification.

01Load case

Burst, collapse, tension, compression and combined loading.

02Environment

Temperature, pressure, H₂S, CO₂, chlorides and completion fluids.

03Integrity

Pipe body, connection, cementing and long-term barrier requirements.

Common gradesH40, J55, K55, N80-1, N80-Q, L80-1, C90, T95, P110 and Q125; alloy/special-service grades by review
Manufacturing routeSeamless or electric-welded where permitted by the applicable product specification and order
Length rangesRange 1: 16–25 ft; Range 2: 25–34 ft; Range 3: 34–48 ft (nominal range references)
API connectionsSTC (Short Round), LTC (Long Round) and BTC (Buttress)
Other connectionsSelected premium or special connections, subject to authorization, compatibility and technical review
End supplyThreaded and coupled or plain-end as specified; thread protectors fitted for handling and shipment
Surface / protectionBare, mill coating or order-specific preservation; internal options reviewed by application
Marking & traceabilityOrder-specific marking, heat / lot traceability and bundle identification

Note: This is a capability overview, not a dimensional acceptance table. Purchase-order requirements and the governing standard take precedence.

SIZE & MASS SELECTION

Casing size and mass selection table.

Filter the complete 106-combination table by outside diameter, then compare nominal mass, wall thickness, inside diameter, drift and connection-mass values.

How to use this table
  • Select the required outside diameter from the casing programme.
  • Match nominal mass or wall thickness to the design load case.
  • Then define grade, connection, length, service condition and inspection scope.

A dash means that the corresponding connection-mass value is not listed for that size and mass combination. Final grade, connection, length, inspection and delivery requirements are confirmed in the quotation and order documents.

MATERIAL SELECTION

Common API casing grade families.

Minimum yield values below are grade identifiers for initial comparison. Chemical composition, heat treatment, hardness and complete mechanical-property requirements remain governed by the applicable standard and order.

Grade familySpecified minimum yieldProcurement context
H4040 ksi / 276 MPaSelected lower-strength applications; availability is size dependent.
J55 / K5555 ksi / 379 MPaCommon casing grades for conventional well programs.
N80-1 / N80-Q80 ksi / 552 MPaHigher-strength options with different delivery conditions.
L80-1 / L80-9Cr / L80-13Cr80 ksi / 552 MPaControlled-strength family; alloy variants require service review.
C9090 ksi / 621 MPaFor specified well conditions subject to hardness and test requirements.
T9595 ksi / 655 MPaHigher-strength controlled grade for selected demanding service.
P110110 ksi / 758 MPaHigh-strength casing for deeper or higher-load well programs.
Q125125 ksi / 862 MPaHigh-strength grade requiring detailed design and specification review.

CONNECTION SYSTEM

The connection is part of the pressure barrier.

Connection selection considers tensile efficiency, sealing demand, torque, clearance, running practice and compatibility with the well design.

01

STC

Short Round Thread Casing

A common API round-thread option for suitable conventional requirements.

02

LTC

Long Round Thread Casing

Longer API round-thread engagement for the applicable casing sizes and loads.

03

BTC

Buttress Thread Casing

API buttress-profile connection commonly selected where higher axial efficiency is required.

04

Premium / Special

Project selected

Metal-to-metal sealing, gas-tight or high-torque requirements are reviewed case by case.

API BUTTRESS CASING CONNECTION

BTC geometry and gauging require controlled inspection.

API Spec 5B defines the applicable thread dimensions, tolerances, gauges and inspection practice. The exact standard edition and size-specific acceptance table must be stated in the order.

01

Thread form

Asymmetric buttress profile with five threads per inch. OAK working data records a 3° load flank, 10° stabbing flank and nominal 1.575 mm thread height.

02

Element inspection

Pitch, thread height, taper, profile, complete thread length and visual condition are checked with the applicable instruments and calibrated gauges.

03

Functional gauging

Working ring gauges are used for external threads and working plug gauges for internal coupling threads. Stand-off is evaluated against the applicable API 5B procedure.

Standard API BTC is not presented as a premium metal-to-metal seal or an independent torque-shoulder connection. Gas-tight, metal-to-metal sealing and secondary-shoulder requirements belong to separately qualified special connections.

CASING PROGRAM

Typical positions in the well.

The casing string and design loads determine grade, wall thickness, connection and inspection—not the application name alone.

01

Conductor Casing

Supports the upper wellbore and provides the initial structural foundation.

02

Surface Casing

Protects shallow formations and supports pressure-control equipment and subsequent strings.

03

Intermediate Casing

Isolates troublesome formations, pressure transitions or unstable intervals.

04

Production Casing

Forms the principal well barrier across the producing interval and supports completion operations.

05

Liner

A non-surface-reaching string used to isolate selected intervals while managing cost and clearance.

06

Tieback / Special Strings

Configured around remediation, completion or project-specific well-integrity requirements.

DEMANDING SERVICE

Requirements beyond standard API casing.

High-collapse, sour-service, corrosion-resistant, thermal and low-temperature requirements need additional engineering review. OAK PIPE evaluates the requested performance, material route, connection and verification plan with suitable manufacturing resources.

MANUFACTURING & QUALITY

Controlled from material identity to final release.

The actual route is fixed by product form, grade, connection, service condition and the approved inspection and test plan.

01Raw material and heat-number verification
02Forming, dimensional control and heat treatment
03Straightening, full-length inspection and NDT
04Hydrostatic, drift and dimensional testing
05End finishing, threading and coupling inspection
06Marking, protection, documentation and final release

Inspection scope

  • Chemical and mechanical-property verification
  • Dimensions, straightness and drift inspection
  • Electromagnetic or ultrasonic inspection as applicable
  • Hydrostatic testing and end-area inspection
  • Thread gauging, coupling and protector checks
  • Purchaser or third-party hold points when ordered

Typical document package

  • Mill test certificate and traceability records
  • Chemical, mechanical, NDT and hydrostatic reports
  • Dimensional and thread-inspection reports
  • Inspection and test plan / release documents
  • Packing list, marking record and certificate of origin
  • Manufacturing record book when specified
