Determining the Effect of Tie Back Seal Assemblies to Improve Collapse Resistance for Liner Hanger Extensions Team
Objective
Deliverable
Explore possible methods of calculating the collapse pressure of Oil Country Tubular Goods. Additionally, investigate factors such as length, eccentricity, temperature, and ovality and their effect on collapse pressure.

Ovality
Ovality has limited effect and is factored into the Tomano Equations
Code developed using Excel and is programmed to include the Tomano Equations, as well as previously known methods. This program allows designers to quickly test and consider different pipe profiles.
Eccentricity
Eccentricity has a significant effect on pipe collapse
• • •
Critical Length: 8x the outer diameter Longer section analyzed using Tomano Equations (2007) Shorter sections rely on the Lamé Equation
Temperature Derating
Temperature change has minimal effect
