| Title: |
Use closer spacing for successive casing strings |
| Text: |
"Drilling Smaller-Diameter Holes: Closer Spacing of Successive Casing Strings: In the past, only standard-sized bits and casings were available, such that each reduction in hole size was quite dramatic. The number of available bit- and casing-size options has increased dramatically in recent years. Now, adjacent casing strings can fit closer together, so the outer of the two strings need not be so far from the inner string. This reduces the volume of cuttings generated." |
