The purpose of this paper is to select a normal deep well and to design combinations of tubing strings. In many wells today, the design of tubing strings is not based simply on the function of tension, collapse and burst of available API tubes. Corrosion has been an oilfield problem almost from the beginning of the industry. High field pressures and deeper wells have added a whole new list of words to the oilfield vocabulary, particularly when referring to tubing; words such as stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement and so on.
