Abstract This paper describes a method for quantitative risk analysis (QRA) of casing/tubing systems, using a structural reliability approach. The technique was used to calculate risk-calibrated design factors for exploration and development wells, taking into account the nature and consequences of failure for each string, stress check type and load case. The methodology and results are a significant advance on previous work.
