English term or phrase: casings

Voici le contexte :

My name is xxx and I work in Saudi Arabia for xxx (a xxx and xxx joint venture) as a tool pusher on rig 5865. I took the course as drill team leader in Cortemaggiore in 2006 and was subsequently sent to various sites for hands-on training. Anyway, I was working on Perro Negro 7 as night pusher. We were preparing the 24” casings for the tubing and noticed that one of them was damaged. I therefore decided to remove it and store it elsewhere. This required walking through the casings, a task which the team members refused to carry out as it was deemed too dangerous.

Parle t-on de coffrages ici ? Par exemple, si je reprends la phrase ci-dessous, je proposerai la traduction suivante:
We were preparing the 24” casings for the tubing and noticed that one of them was damaged.
Nous préparions des coffrages pour les tubes de 60 cm et avons remarqué que l’un d'entre eux était abîmé.

tubage de puits

Explanation:
Voir Termium. On trouve aussi cuvelage et tubage. Ce n'est pas un coffrage comme pour du béton.
