Principles of Cementing

This course provides attendees with the basic concepts of primary cementing and illustrates the adverse effects upon well performance of a poor-quality primary cement job (bad practices). Remediation using squeeze cementing techniques are discussed and analyzed as are secondary cementing techniques. Basic cement equipment and layout at the well site is presented. The physical and chemical properties of cement and slurries calculation, including additives and effects, are reviewed, and basic volume and displacement calculation are performed.
