Thread: Buoyancy consideration while setting the casing in casing hanger after cementation

  1. Buoyancy consideration while setting the casing in casing hanger after cementation

    Dear friends,
    I have a doubt regarding the setting of the casing in the casing hanger after cementation is done.
    After the casing lowering, cementation and WOC, the casing is hanged on the well-head via the casing hanger/slip.
    Generally the procedure is that a pull equal to the weight of the casing is applied and the casing is set on that load. However, my confusion is: do we consider buoyancy for this. i.e. do we take the air weight of the casing or the buoyant weight to set the casing hanger.
    Please guide.

    AS a thumb rule: take the air weight of the casing (casing without cmt around it) and set slips
