Reliability assessment of the vertical well system subjected to erosion and tubing failure
Tubing is part of a typical vertical well system which functions to transport hydrocarbon from the producing formations to the field surface facilities for processing. With its exposure to the harsh sandstone reservoir environment, erosion is likely to be present in the tubing. Regardless of this, t...
