Cementing
 Cementing
• Functions of cement
• Cement Types
• Additives

20 3
 Functions of cement
• Protect and support
the casing

• Prevent the
movement of fluid
through the annular
space outside the
casing

20 4
 Functions of cement
• Stop the movement of
fluid into vugular or
fractured formations

20 5
 Functions of cement
• Close an abandoned
portion of the well

20 6
Types of cemeting processes
• Primary cementing
– Full string
– Liners
– Large diameter pipe
– Stage
• Survey and perforate
• Stage collar

20 7
 Types of cemeting processes
• Squeeze cementing
– Shoe
– Casing (up hole)
– Open-hole (lost circulation)

20 8
Types of cemeting processes
• Plug and Abandonment
– Open hole plug back
• Fishing operations
• Abandonment
– Casing

 Cementing Calculations
• Given:
– Casing = 7”, 23 lb/ft casing to be set at 8000’
– Hole OD = 9”
– Cement the bottom 2000’ of casing
• Class “H” neat, 15.6 ppg
– 80’ casing between float collar and float shoe

20 15
 Cementing Calculations
• Determine:
– Volume of cement required
– Volume of mixing water
– Volume of mud displacement

20 16
 Cementing Calculations
• Solution:
– Yield of cement = 1.18 cu.ft/sk (Halliburton)
– Cement volume
• Annular Capacity = .1745 cu ft/ft (Halliburton)
• Annular Vol = .1754 cuft/ft X 2000’ = 349 cu ft
• Casing Capacity = .2210 cu ft/ft
• Casing Volume = .2210 X 80 = 17.68 cu. ft.
• Cement volume = 349 + 17.68 cu. Ft = 366.68 cu.
ft.

20 17
 Cementing Calculations
• Sacks of cement = 366.68 cu.ft/1.18
cu.ft/sk
• Sacks of cement = 310.75 sacks
• Volume of mixing water =
• 5.2 gal/sack X 310.75 sacks = 1615.88 gal
• 1615.88 gal/42gal/bbl = 38.47 bbl

20 18
 Cementing Calculations
• Volume of Mixing Water
– Volume of mixing water =
– 5.2 gal/sack X 310.75 sacks = 1615.88 gal
– 1615.88 gal/42gal/bbl = 38.47 bbl

20 19
 Cementing Calculations
• Mud displacement
– Casing capacity = .0396 bbl/ft
– Depth to FC = 8000 – 80 = 7920’
– Volume of mud displacement =
– .0396 X 7920 = 313.63 bbl
