The disclosure addresses the existing gap in tubular designs and monitoring of tubulars in wellbores by considering high temperature, cyclic thermal loading effects. An example method of designing tubular for use in a well is provided that includes: (1) receiving a well configuration for a well and at least one type of well operation for the well, (2) receiving a selection of a tubular for use in the well, (3) generating a temperature history and a pressure history for the well using the well configuration, the selection of the tubular, the at least one type of well operation, and one or more simulators, and (4) determining, using the temperature history and the pressure history, a derated strength of the tubular based on one or more effects of high temperature, cyclic thermal loadings on the tubular.
A method of designing tubular for use in a well, comprising:
A computing system for designing tubulars for use in a well, comprising:
A computer program product having a series of operating instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that directs one or more processors when executed thereby to perform operations, the operations comprising:
A method of monitoring a well having tubulars, comprising:
