Wellbore casing
A layered wall, composed of mostly cement and steel, that provides support for the wellbore, and separates the well from the surrounding geologic structure. As the natural gas and oil travel through the well, wellbore casings are crucial to protecting aquifers from the migrating fluids. Regulations dictate that the wellbore casing must extend sufficiently below an aquifer.
