  • A decision was made on the casing sizes to be included in Table 1
  • Interpolation of restoring force within the casing sizes in Table 1 will be allowed
  • For casing sizes outside the range in the table, a formula will be used to calculate min restoring force for a specific casing size and weight
  • Described current problems with existing tolerances on restriction diameter (+0.125” 0.031”) and described a the new tighter tolerance range (+.031” -0.00”)
  • For under-reamed applications tests, there will be no maximum starting force
  • A study will be conducted to determine the effect of a staged step-down running in procedure on restoring force. If the restoring force changes by over 15%, a staged down procedure will be adopted
  • Decision was made to recommend a reporting restoring force values as stand-off as a function of five load values: 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, and 300% of minimum restoring force. Additionally, the load for 67% stand-off ratioas it is currently measured will continue to be reported.
