Full title and description

ISO 10405:2000 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — Care and use of casing and tubing. This international standard (2nd edition, 2000) establishes recommended practices for the handling, running, pulling, inspection and storage of casing and tubing used in petroleum and natural gas operations, and includes procedures for drifting, stabbing, making up and lowering, field make‑up and landing, as well as guidance on causes of trouble, transportation, handling, storage, inspection and field welding of attachments.

Abstract

ISO 10405:2000 provides practical, operational guidance for the care and use of casing and tubing in drilling and production operations. It covers pre‑running and pre‑pulling inspection and preparation, running and pulling techniques, field make‑up and landing procedures, in‑hole care and recovery, causes and prevention of casing/tubing problems, and recommendations for transportation, handling, storage and limited field welding of attachments. The standard is intended to reduce operational damage, improve runnability and promote safe, consistent practice in the field.

Scope

This standard specifies practices for the care and use of casing and tubing in the petroleum and natural gas industries. It addresses preparation and inspection before running and before pulling, drifting procedures, stabbing, making up and lowering, field make‑up and landing, in‑hole care and recovery methods, common causes of casing and tubing problems and recommended mitigations, plus requirements and guidance for transportation, handling, storage and limited field welding of attachments. The scope is focused on operational best practice rather than detailed material specifications.

Key topics and requirements

• Preparation and inspection before running casing or tubing (visual and dimensional checks, thread protection, cleanliness and alignment).
• Drifting procedures to verify internal clearances and detect deformation.
• Stabbing, making up and lowering techniques to minimise thread damage and ensure proper centralization and handling.
• Field make‑up, landing procedures and final in‑hole checks to confirm connection integrity and runnability.
• Care of casing/tubing in hole and recovery methods for stuck or damaged tubulars.
• Causes of casing and tubing trouble (mechanical damage, corrosion, thread damage, handling errors) and recommended preventive measures.
• Transportation, handling and storage practices to protect tubulars during transit and on site (lashings, supports, inspection on receipt).
• Inspection, acceptance criteria and limited guidance on field welding of attachments.

Typical use and users

Primary users are oil and gas operators, drilling and completion contractors, field supervisors, operations engineers, materials and inspection personnel, procurement teams and standards librarians. The standard is used during planning and execution of drilling/completion operations to define handling procedures, pre‑run checklists, training and site‑work instructions that minimise equipment damage and operational risk.

Related standards

ISO 10405:2000 replaces ISO 10405:1993 (withdrawn). Regional and national adopters have published corresponding transpositions (for example BS EN ISO 10405 variants). Users often apply ISO 10405 alongside other ISO/TC 67 standards and industry/API specifications covering tubular materials, thread types and mechanical properties and handling (regional and industry complementary documents). Consult your national standards body for adopted or superseding regional editions.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10405:2000 is an international standard giving recommended practices for the care and use of casing and tubing in petroleum and natural gas operations (Edition 2, 2000).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers preparation and inspection before running and pulling, drifting, stabbing, making up and lowering, field make‑up and landing, in‑hole care and recovery, causes of casing/tubing trouble, transportation, handling, storage and guidance for limited field welding of attachments.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Oil and gas operators, drilling and completion contractors, field supervisors, operations and materials engineers, inspection teams and procurement groups use it to define safe and damage‑minimising practices for tubular handling and running.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10405:2000 is the current ISO edition listed for this number; the earlier ISO 10405:1993 was withdrawn and replaced by the 2000 edition. ISO’s bibliographic record shows the 2000 edition as published and confirmed in subsequent systematic reviews (confirmed as current in ISO’s review cycle most recently in 2023). National adoptions or harmonized versions (for example EN/BS adoptions) may have later publication dates or superseding references — check your national standards body for local status.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: ISO 10405 exists as a numbered ISO standard (with a 1993 predecessor). It is part of the body of standards developed by ISO/TC 67 for petroleum and natural gas industries; related documents and national/adopted versions exist but ISO 10405 is a stand‑alone standard focused on casing and tubing care and use.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Casing, tubing, running, pulling, drifting, stabbing, make‑up, landing, handling, storage, inspection, tubulars, petroleum, natural gas. These reflect the operational topics covered by the standard.
