The light-alloy casing (LAC) is reasonable to be used in the operating wells with aggressive formation fluid with high hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide where the standard steel pipes cannot use utilized, however, the imported pipes of special steel grades require greater costs to be incurred for purchasing such pipes.
