Collapse
STRESS
Burst:
Burst Assume full reservoir pressure all along the wellbore.
Collapse: Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth
Tension: Tensile stress due to weight of string is highest at top

Example 3
Determine the collapse strength for a 5 1/2 O.D.,
14.00 #/ft, J-55 casing under axial load of 100,000
lbs
The axial tension will reduce the collapse pressure
