Prevent wear with CWPRO

Interested in learning more about how CWPRO can help you monitor wear across your entire field operation to prevent costly failures and unnecessary downtime? Connect with a LINQX engineer for a demo.

Casing wear is one of the biggest threats to well integrity. That’s why CWPRO casing wear prediction software is essential for any drilling engineer or well integrity manager serious about prevention.

Why Choose CWPRO for Casing Wear Prediction?

CWPRO blends powerful algorithms with a simple user experience to:

Frequently Asked Questions

How does CWPRO handle complex well designs like sidetracks?

CWPRO models parent wells with sidetracks, accounting for multiple casings and open holes in each branch.

Can I import wellbore tortuosity and survey data into CWPRO?

Yes. CWPRO supports survey data import from PDF, text, and spreadsheet formats.

What are the system requirements?

Our industrial analytics software options require:

Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows® 10 or above
Microsoft Office®: 2016 or above
Processor: Dual-core processor, 1.4 GHz or higher
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Disk Space: 600 MB of free disk space for installation
Display: 1,280 x 768 display resolution

*Note: The software may still run on Windows 10, Office 2016, or Office 2019; however, these versions have reached end-of-support from Microsoft and are not officially supported.

Can the CWPRO software calculate the collapse strength of worn casings?

Yes. It calculates a factor comparing worn casing strength to new casing strength, then applies it to determine the worn casing’s collapse strength.

How do I select an appropriate wear factor?

Wear factor depends on mud type, additives, lubricants, casing interior, and tool joint protectors. CWPRO provides suggested values from industry standards (DEA-42).

How does CWPRO deal with cumulative casing wear caused by different drill string operations?

The software tracks exposed areas during each operation. Wear from previous operations is used as the starting point for the next, accumulating over the sequence.

When to apply non-liner correction to wear calculation?

Default wear assumes linear increase over time. For small wear results (less than 5%), apply non-linear correction, which accounts for wear slowing as depth/time increases.
