Goa’s mining policy continues to favor China: NGO to PM The Goa government’s state mining policy continues to favor China, a leading Goa-based green NGO has said in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Sunday. The letter also alleged that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant was dragging his feet over auctioning of iron ore mining leases to restart the virtually non-functional industry. The letter to the Prime Minister’s Office by Goa Foundation, whose petitions related to illegal mining resulted in a ban on the mining industry in the state in 2012, has also said that the Sawant-led administration was dragging its feet over the recovery of nearly Rs 3,431 crore of dues from various mining companies. “The priority to the Sawant government today is to be seen in recent orders for the Director of Mines and Geology, permitting transport and export of iron ore stocks up to July 31, 2020, directly favoring former lease-holders and traders who have spot contracts with China,” the letter to the Prime Minister’s Office states.

How to Manage Oil Casing in Corrosive Well Environments

Oil casing in corrosive well environments must meet both mechanical design requirements and the demands of the service environment,Carbon dioxide (CO₂),hydrogen sulfide (H₂S),chlorides,water chemistry and temperature can influence corrosion behavior and material suitability,Choosing a casing grade based on strength alone may leave important risks unaddressed,
How to Choose the Right Oil Casing for Well Conditions

Choosing the right oil casing requires more than matching a nominal diameter or selecting a higher-strength steel grade,Casing must meet the well design,expected mechanical loads,connection requirements and service environment,For drilling contractors,EPC procurement teams and international buyers,confirming these requirements before ordering helps reduce specification errors,delivery delays and costly changes during project execution,
How to Identify Early Signs of Oil Casing Failure

Oil casing provides structural support and helps maintain well integrity throughout drilling and production,When casing or related well barriers deteriorate,the consequences may include leakage,operational interruptions and increased safety risks,However,casing damage is not always visible at the surface,and early warning signs do not necessarily confirm a failure,
How Is Oil Casing Quality Verified Before Delivery

Oil casing quality must be verified against the requirements agreed for the order,including steel grade,dimensions,connections,inspection scope and documentation,Before shipment,buyers need to know not only whether the product has been inspected,but also whether the required tests are complete,the results meet the specified acceptance criteria,and the records correspond to the supplied materials,
How to Reduce Casing Damage During Cementing Operations

Casing damage during cementing can complicate well construction,delay subsequent operations and raise concerns about well integrity,Although cementing helps support the casing string and isolate formations,the operation involves mechanical loads,fluid pressure and coordination between drilling and cementing teams,
