1.1 Introduction to Floating and Guiding Equipment

Halliburton has become one of the leading manufacturers of floating and guiding equipment. Since
Halliburton’s original floating and guiding equipment designs in the early years of the petroleum industry,
several design and manufacturing changes have helped increase the pressure and temperature rating of the
equipment while maintaining focus on drillability. Present designs allow Halliburton float equipment to be
used in any well regardless of depth and temperature, unless otherwise noted in this manual. Figures 1.1.A
and 1.1.B show two typical casing programs successfully cemented using conventional casing equipment.

• Bit style (i.e. cutter size and angle, blade lay-

1.2 Advantage™ IPV Float Assembly

The Advantage™ Insert Poppet Valve (IPV) float assem-
bly (Figure 1.2.A) is a reliable, economical float assem-
bly that prevents cement backflow into the casing after
cementing operations are complete. This assembly pro-
vides greater erosion resistance and faster drillout than
conventional insert float equipment. Based on the Super
Seal II™ float equipment valve design, the Advantage
IPV float assembly consists of a spring-loaded, rubber-
coated poppet valve that can be used for high-rate
cementing.
This valve effectively resists the wear caused by drilling

mud and cement being pumped through the assembly
during well conditioning and cementing operations. Ad-
vantage IPV float assemblies have been flow-tested with
abrasive, sand-laden fluids at 6 and 10 bbl/min for 24-
hour periods. The outer body of the tool is cast alumi-
num, and the inner valve components are made of
plastic, concrete, or minimal amounts of metal that can
be drilled out easily with roller-cone rock bits. Overall
DN002645
Advantage IPV float assemblies contain 60% less alumi-
num than insert flapper valve assemblies, which greatly
reduces drillout times and associated rig costs. This
valve should not be drilled out with PDC bits. Figure 1.2.A—Advantage IPV float assembly
The Advantage IPV float assembly is available for 4 ½-

in. to 13 3/8-in. casing. It can be used in most API short
8rd, long 8rd, and buttress thread couplings. The Advan-
tage IPV float assembly comes with an flow-deactivated
autofill feature identical to Super Seal II float equip-
ment. The autofill feature may be installed according to
Halliburton 836.00052 instructions. The autofill feature
must be set before being made up in the casing string.
Figure 1.2.B and Table 1.2.A provide the specifications
and performance ratings for the Advantage IPV float
assembly.

1.3 Trophy Seal® Float Collars and Shoes

Trophy Seal® float shoes and collars (Figures 1.3.A,
1.3.B, and 1.3.C) were designed for low temperature
and pressure environments normally associated with
shallow wells. Trophy Seal float equipment valve
components use the 2 ¾-in. Super Seal II™ float
equipment valve design and a lower-temperature
thermoplastic compound. Trophy Seal carries an API
RP10F-IA rating. The new plastic materials used
allow the valve to be easily drilled with PDC bits.
DN002864
It has a shorter case length made with K-55 material
that is suitable for sour gas service and is available
with API 8rd buttress and slip joint (in shoes). The Figure 1.3.A—Trophy Seal float collar
assembly has been tested to 1,500 psi at 250°F and
2,500 psi at 150°F. Trophy Seal float equipment does
not contain the automatic fill features, but they may
be added at the time of order. The Trophy Seal float
equipment is more economical than Super Seal II
float equipment for cost-sensitive users.

Tubing Float Equipment
Super Seal™ and Super Seal II™ tubing-size
float shoes are available in either standard or
high-port up-jet (HPUJ) designs. Tubing-size
float shoes and collars help prevent cement
backflow from entering the tubing string. Be-
cause of size restrictions, autofill devices are
not provided with tubing-size floating equip-
ment.
The case material for all standard tubing sizes

and grades of equipment is L-80 grade steel.
Other material grades and premium threads
are available by special order. The 2 3/8-in.
float shoe and float collar includes the Super
Seal float equipment 2 1/8-in. valve. Standard
float shoes and HPUJ float shoes are available
in 2 7/8-in. through 4-in. tubing sizes. Tubing-
size floating equipment should be drilled out
with roller cone rock bits.

1.6 Super Seal II™ Nonrotating Float Collars

Super Seal II™ nonrotating (NR) float collars (Figure
1.6.A) offer all the features of standard Super Seal II
float collars, but are equipped with an NR plug seat that
allows NR cementing plugs with locking teeth to latch
together for improved drillout times with fixed cutter
bits. When the NR plastic insert plugs are drilled out
with PDC or other fixed cutter bits, drillout time can be
reduced by 90%. The NR feature helps prevent long
drillout times by preventing the cementing plugs from
spinning on top of the float collar.
Super Seal II NR float equipment is available with the

2 3/4-in. and 4 1/4-in. Super Seal II float equipment valve
in any casing weight, grade, or thread type for 7-in. to
20-in. casing sizes. For casing sizes larger than 9 5/8 in.,
only the 4 1/4-in. size is available.
24-tooth NR Super Seal II high-strength float collars

are available by special order and are classified as
customer service items (CSIs). Contact the Cementing
Casing Equipment Department in Duncan for specific
DN002743
part numbers.
Figures 1.6.B and 1.6.C show the various Super Seal II

NR float collars. Tables 1.6.A through 1.6.D provide Figure 1.6.A—Super Seal II NR float collar
details about the 24-tooth NR Super Seal II float collars.
High-strength float equipment is available in 9 5/8-in., 10 3/4-in., and 13 3/8-in. casing sizes and are rated to the
differential pressures specified in Table 1.6.E. Figure 1.6.D shows a high-strength float collar.
High-strength float equipment is generally ordered through the CSI process and is custom built for each job.
Along with special float equipment that is built with a specially engineered and tested NR plug seat, the
cementing plugs (both surface launch and sub-surface launch) must be selected specifically for use with high-
strength float equipment. Mismatching of this equipment could result in a less than desirable performance.

1.7 Super Seal II™ Down-Jet Float Shoes

The Super Seal II™ down-jet float shoe (Figure 1.7.A) includes
the Super Seal II float equipment valve, which prevents cement
from re-entering the casing ID. In addition to the center hole
through the float valve, four fluid ports are drilled at a down-
ward angle in the outer case below the float valve. These ports
provide a downward jetting action during fluid circulation.
Pressurized fluid jets out of the side ports and the guide nose,
helping remove cuttings and filter cake, creating turbulence
around the shoe, and improving cement distribution and casing-
to-formation bonding. Additionally, the external jets on the
outer case provide an alternative cement flow path if the bottom
center port becomes blocked in the event that casing is landed on
the bottom of the hole.
Super Seal II down-jet float shoes (Figures 1.7.B and 1.7.C) are
available with the 2 3/4-in. or 4 1/4-in. valve in 4 1/2-in. through
20-in. casing sizes. Larger sizes can be built as a CSI order.
Tables 1.7.A and 1.7.B provide the part numbers and sizes for
these float shoes.
DN002870
Standard Super Seal II float equipment may be converted in
the field to the down-jet type. Instructions for drilling holes in
the case OD below the Super Seal II float shoe are discussed on
the following pages. Figure 1.7.A—Super Seal II
down-jet float shoe
If necessary, standard Super Seal II float shoes may be con-
verted to a down-jet shoe by drilling holes in the outer case
(Figure 1.7.E). Tables 1.7.C and 1.7.D provide the drilling
information needed. The holes through the outer case are drilled at a specific length from the bottom of the
float shoe case and at a specified downward angle. The holes should be drilled at a qualified machine shop.
Extreme care should be taken to prevent damage to the Super Seal II float equipment valve. If damaged,
the valve may not hold backpressure. Care should also be taken to wash any steel or cement chips from the
float shoe ID that may prevent the valve from sealing on its seat.

1.8 Super Seal II™ Double-Valve Floating Equipment

The Super Seal II™ double-valve float col-
lars and float shoes (Figures 1.8.A and
1.8.B) offer a redundant float valve for the
most demanding users. The double float
valve helps ensure a backpressure cement
seal if wellbore fluids damage one of the
valves or if debris between the valve and the
valve seat prevents the valve from sealing.
The double-valve floating equipment has

the following features:
• 2 3/4-in. valve for 5-in. and larger casing
• 4 1/4-in. valve for 7-in. and larger casing
• Preset in the autofill mode
• Several standard Super Seal II float

equipment options, such as inner-
string options, nonrotating inserts,
and HPUJs, etc.
• Available in different casing grades
DN002638

1.9 Super Seal II™ Special Float Shoe Configurations

In addition to standard float shoes, down-jet float • Enclosed down-jet float shoes
shoes, and double-valve float shoes, several other
float shoe configurations can enhance casing place- • Aluminum or composite guide noses on float
ment and cement placement around the shoe joint or shoes
reduce drillout time after cementing. Special float
shoe configurations include the following: • Centralized float shoes (Figure 1.9.A)
• High-port up-jet (HPUJ) float shoes • Reamer shoes (Figure 1.9.B)
DN002636
DN002635
Figure 1.9.A—Centralized HPUJ float shoe Figure 1.9.B—Reamer shoe with tapered composite nose
June 2006 1.9-1

1.9.1 Super Seal II™ HPUJ Float Shoe
The high-port up-jet (HPUJ) float shoe (Figure 1.9.1.A)

jets the formation face to remove detrimental mud cake
and cuttings, increasing the chances of a successful
cement-to-formation bond. The high circulation rates
and cement flow rates that are possible with the Super
Seal II™ float equipment valve allow turbulent flow at
the shoe without damaging the float valve.
The HPUJ shoe includes six fluid-discharge ports strate-

gically placed to jet the circulation fluid or cement
upward, enhancing fluid turbulence far above the float-
ing equipment. These up-jet ports, along with four (or
fewer) down-jet ports, distribute the fluid in the annular
space above and below the float shoe, helping prevent
channeling near the shoe. Approximately 40% of the
fluid pumped through the equipment is discharged at a
high velocity through the bottom of the float shoe,
removing material in its path and helping maneuver the
casing past ledges and tight sections of the wellbore.
DN002665
If the casing string is reciprocated during cementing,
cement jetted through the exit ports removes mud cake
from the formation face. Field reports indicate that the
HPUJ float shoe can substantially reduce the number of
casing strings requiring secondary squeeze cementing Figure 1.9.1.A—Super Seal II HPUJ
operations. All casing sizes of the Super Seal II HPUJ float shoe
float shoe use an autofill strap of the Super Seal II float
equipment valve. When engaged, this strap allows the
casing to fill automatically with wellbore fluid while it is
being run in the hole, saving time and reducing the “ram
effect” of running casing.
Tables 1.9.1.A through 1.9.1.C, along with

Figures 1.9.1.C through 1.9.1.E, provide
details about HPUJ float shoe.
Caution: The Super Seal II HPUJ float

shoe requires field modification be-
fore it is run in the well, even if the
autofill feature is not used. See instal-
lation instructions 837.00098 pack-
aged with each tool assembly.
Caution: Always apply Weld A™ com-

pound to the treads of the baffle, and
DN002737
tighten the nose or plate. A nose or

plate left untightened could disengage
from the assembly when the casing is
run in the hole or during drillout. Figure 1.9.1.B—Super Seal II HPUJ float shoe

1.9.4 Centralized Float Shoes and Collars
Vaned (centralized) float equipment uses all of the

components of a Super Seal II™ float shoe, but have
vanes welded to the outer steel case. The OD of the
vane attachment is normally 1/8-in. to 1/4-in. smaller
than the hole size in which it is to be run.
The vanes also act as a rigid centralizer at the bottom

of the casing string, much like attaching a rigid
centralizer to the casing OD at the float, providing
guaranteed minimum standoff. The fluid restriction
created by the vanes also helps produce turbulence
at the shoe to enhance mud removal and cement
bonding between the shoe and formation.
Vaned float collars and float shoes (Figure 1.9.4.A)

can be supplied for almost any casing size or hole size
and are available by special order. Contact the Ce-

1.9.5 Reamer Shoes
The Halliburton reamer shoe (Figure

1.9.5.A) is manufactured with a Super Seal
II™ float equipment valve to help prevent
cement flowback after the cement job. This
tool should be run in wellbores where cas-
ing-running difficulties are expected or have
historically been experienced. Additionally,
the tool is often used in wells with liners. In
vertical and horizontal wellbores, the lower
portion of the reamer is coated with a cut-
ting material that will cut through swelling
sections, keyseats, and washout ledges.

• It can be less costly than cementing large

• This method reduces casing collapse when
annulus pack-off is used.
• It does not require large-diameter cementing
The following three basic methods are available
plugs. for performing inner-string cementing jobs.
Each method requires different types of downhole
• It reduces cement contamination. equipment.
1.10.1 Method 1—Super Seal II™ Float Collar with Sealing Sleeve
This inner-string cementing method requires that a stab-in
float shoe or float collar be installed in the casing string. The
casing string is run into the well in the usual manner. The
inner string is then run in, with the sealing adapter made up
on the lower end and stabbed into the floating-equipment
sealing sleeve. Figure 1.10.1.A illustrates components used
in this method. Table 1.10.1.A provides more detail about the
sealing sleeve adapters.
The plastic sealing sleeve is built into the floating equipment

to provide a sealing receptacle for the inner-string sealing
adapter. Concrete is molded around the sealing sleeve to
secure the sleeve within the floating equipment. The floating-
equipment top is also tapered to form a cone that helps guide
the sealing-sleeve adapter into its sealing sleeve. Two central-
izers should be run on the inner string: one centralizer is
directly above the sealing adapter, and another centralizer is
one joint above the first centralizer. This arrangement will
help the inner string enter the stab-in floating equipment.
After the inner string (usually drillpipe) has been stabbed into
the floating equipment, circulation/cementing is pumped
through the inner string and floating equipment into the
casing/wellbore annulus. After cementing has been completed,
the check valve in the floating equipment will prevent cement
from re-entering the casing, and the sealing adapter and inner
DN002662
string can be pulled from the casing.

1.10.2 Method 2—Super Seal II™ Float Collar with Sealing Sleeve and
Latchdown Seat
A second inner-string cementing method with a
latchdown plug seat is also available (Figure
1.10.2.A). This floating equipment is built with a
combination sealing sleeve and latchdown plug
seat (Table 1.10.2.A). The combination sleeve,
which is held in place by concrete, provides (1) a
sealing surface for the inner-string sealing adapter
on the top and (2) a bore configuration to latch and
seal the nose of a latchdown plug on bottom.
After the last cement is displaced down the inner

string, a top latchdown plug is launched down the
inner string. The latchdown plug wipes the inner-
string ID to ensure that cement scale is not left after
cementing. The nose of the latchdown plug seats
and latches into the float equipment sleeve imme-
diately after passing through the inner-string seal-
ing sleeve. After latching in, the plug nose is designed
to withstand pressure from above and below.
After the inner string is retrieved, the latchdown plug

serves as a backup to any backpressure valves located
in the casing string below. Pressure can be applied
inside the casing immediately after the latchdown
plug has been landed and the sealing-sleeve adapter
has been pulled from the sealing sleeve.

ing reciprocation with the drillpipe, this float equip-
ment eliminates the need for large-diameter
lift-through plug containers.
Super Seal II load-carrying float equipment consists

of an internally threaded receptacle that is con-
nected to an adapter attached to the workstring.
This connection allows operators to transfer casing
weight to the drillpipe.
When a scabliner is run, the required length of

casing is run in the well and supported at the rig
floor. A workstring with a left-hand-threaded seal-
ing adapter on the bottom is run in the casing ID.
When the workstring is landed on the float equip-
ment, the drillpipe is rotated to the left (counter-
clockwise) to attach the workstring to the
load-carrying float equipment. The casing is lowered
to the required setting depth supported by the
workstring. Cementing operations are then per-
formed through the workstring.
The load-carrying float equipment is manufactured

from aluminum instead of cast-iron to decrease

ment can be drilled out in two or three hours rather
than 10 to 12 hours when made of cast iron. The

1.12 PDF Float Equipment

The pressure differential fill (PDF) float shoe
and collar includes a reliable float valve. This
valve allows casing to fill while it is run in the
hole, and it allows fluid circulation at any time
without deactivating the fill mechanism. PDF
float shoes and collars can be run in the same
casing string. They allow fluid to enter the
bottom of the casing while maintaining a con-
stant differential pressure of 150 psi per as-
sembly between the inside and outside of the
casing at the floats. This pressure maintains a
constant fluid height inside the casing. When
multiple PDF assemblies are run, the ΔP is
cumulative for all assemblies.
PDF floating equipment is supplied in the

differential-fill mode ready to be run in the
hole. After all casing has been run, a weighted
plastic ball is dropped in the casing from the
surface and pumped through the tool. This
procedure deactivates the differential-fill op-
tion. After the ball passes the float collar and/
or shoe, the PDF backpressure flapper closes
against its seat, preventing re-entry of cement
into the casing ID.

1.13 Insert Float Valve

The insert float valve (Figure 1.13.A) is used primarily in
shallow wells with low bottomhole temperatures and wells
that require the backpressure valve to hold relatively low
pressures. The insert float valve is a backpressure check-
valve assembly that is installed between the pin and box ends
of API 8rd or buttress thread casing joints.
This valve is used for casing flotation and cementing opera-

tions in wells with moderate temperature and depth. It can be
used with differential pressures up to the collapse pressure of
the lightest weight of J-55 casing in the casing size in which
it is run. The insert float valve can be installed in long or short
API 8rd or buttress casing couplings.
Because of limited space between the casing box and pin, insert
float valves are not available for premium-thread casing. One
or more insert valves can be run in a casing string or in
conjunction with a standard float shoe or guide shoe.
Because they are made from aluminum, insert float valve
DN002650
assemblies can be drilled out easily with a medium-tooth,
roller-cone rock bit. PDC bits should not be used to drill out
insert float valves.
Figure 1.13.A—Insert float valve
Caution: If an insert float valve is used with other

float shoes and collars, the self-fill tube should not
be used.
The insert float valve has a large flow area and can Note: Use of autofill tube should be limited to
be easily converted to autofill equipment if an ori- 30° deviation or less to help ensure proper

allows the valve to close. This equipment operates
efficiently in mud systems containing high concen-
trations of lost-circulation material.

Down-jet guide shoes (Figures 1.14.2.A and 1.14.2.B and
Table 1.14.2.A) have additional side ports in the steel case
that allow fluids to discharge through both the cement nose
and the ports. The jetting action of the fluid pumped
through these ports helps remove wellbore cuttings and
filter cake. Guide shoes are manufactured from K-55 mate-
rial and are available in 4 ½- to 20-in. casing sizes, in both
API 8rd and API Buttress threads. Any size, casing grade
material, and thread can be made on a CSI order basis.

1.14.3 Standard Casing Shoes
A standard casing shoe (Figure 1.14.3.A and Table

1.14.3.A) is a steel reinforcing collar installed on the
bottom joint of the casing string. The shoe prevents
casing abrasion or distortion as casing is forced past
obstructions on the wall of the borehole. The bottom
of a standard casing shoe is tapered to the ID to allow
drill bits used to drill deeper after setting casing to
easily re-enter the casing.

1.15 Halliburton Weld A™ Thread-Locking Compound

and Pipe Dope
1.15.1 Halliburton Weld A™ Thread-Locking Compound
Halliburton Weld A™ thread compound (Figure
1.15.1.A) has proved superior to tack welding as an
aid in locking threaded connections tightly and per-
manently on any casing string, saving time and
money. Weld A compound is not soluble in fresh or
salt water solutions and is not affected by submer-
sion in water.
Floating equipment and the bottom two or three

joints in a casing string should be secured at the
couplings so that they will not come unscrewed while
drilling continues through the casing string. Weld A
DN002904
compound, properly mixed and applied, is com-
pounded to aid in providing the necessary bond to
prevent these threaded connections from breaking
out without welding. Effective temperature is 60° F Figure 1.15.1.A—Halliburton Weld A thread-locking

Correction factor for Halliburton Weld A thread compound is approximately 0.90 compared to API modi-
fied thread compound. Weld A thread compound should be applied to the full pin thread before makeup.
Uncured Weld A thread compound acts as a thread lubricant to help ensure thread galling does not occur
during power makeup. Figure 1.15.1.B illustrates the proper way to apply Weld A thread compound.
