TDAS Tubular design and analysis system software

Minimize risks of pipe buckling, burst, or other failures

Since 1985, TDAS tubular design and analysis system software has been used to recommend secure operating envelopes for casing, tubing, and downhole equipment.

TDAS software simulates operational conditions to anticipate potential stresses and movements of casing, tubing, and downhole equipment. This information is compared with minimum design criteria and equipment operation envelopes to ensure tubular and equipment integrity over the life of the well.

TDAS software helps engineers predict and minimize risks, such as pipe buckling, under expected operating conditions.
The Triaxial plot compares the API and von Mises equivalent (VME) stress boundaries and the pumping opearating conditions to highlight any potential hazardous operating conditions.

Flexible but robust engineering design enables KOC to produce oil and inject water simultaneously in each well, regardless of whether the production zone is above or below the injection zone.

Simultaneously Producing Oil and Injecting Water Saves KOC at Least USD 4 Million

Simplify analysis to save time without sacrificing accuracy

Compared to conventional software, TDAS software provides a user-friendly workflow and flexible, predefined load cases. The software supports a variety of completion equipment, handles complex string design, delivers an output summary with risk warnings, and embeds torque and drag analysis.

TDAS software follows industry standards such as API Specification 5CT, Specification 11D, TR 5C3, and Specification 19V, among others.
