Tubular member with asymmetric burst and collapse ratings, method, and system

Abstract

A tubular member with asymmetric burst and collapse ratings, including a first wall of the tubular member, a second wall of the tubular member spaced from the first wall, a fixed support extending from the first wall toward the second wall, and a dual-action support extending from the second wall toward the first wall. A method for maintaining standard tubular dimensions while achieving asymmetric burst and collapse ratings including exposing the tubular member to pressure from one of the first or second walls, and supporting or failing to support the tubular member depending upon an orientation of the support and the dual-action support. A borehole system, including a borehole in a subsurface formation, a string in the borehole, and a tubular member with asymmetric burst and collapse ratings disposed within or as a part of the string.
