LWC,

Line 1 - 7 & 5/8 inch diameter casing set to 12302 ft depth in a drilled hole with a 9 & 7/8 inch diameter. This would be the intermediate casing string installed in the vertical section of the welbore before drilling curve and horizontal lateral. Cemented in place and tested to 7600 psi of pressure (for 3 minutes?).

Line 2 - 10 & 3/4 inch diameter casing set to 2120 ft depth in a drilled hole with a 13 & 1/2 inch diameter. This would be the surface casing string. Cemented in place and tested to 1500 psi of pressure (for 30 minutes?).

The casing weight just gives some indication of the thickness but I will leave that to a drilling expert.

Les B and FXEF thank you very much. I figured some of this out but was unclear about the test pressure/time. Thanks again.
