A CASING TRANSITION NIPPLE AND METHOD OF CASING A WELL TO FACILITATE WELL COMPLETION, RE-COMPLETION AND WORKOVER

摘要

A casing transition nipple and method of casing awell facilitates well completion, re-completion andworkover while increasing safety and reducing expense. Thecasing transition nipple provides a connection between alarge diameter production casing joint suspended by awellhead and a standard production casing string. The largediameter production casing joint permits long downhole toolstrings to be lubricated into the well without leaving ahigh lubricator profile and reduces the cost of performingmany other well completion, re-completion and workoverprocedures.
