To correctly design a cement job, the rheological properties of the cement slurry, spacer, and chemical wash must be known.
Which three of the following are affected by rheological properties?
a. formation permeability
b. mud removal
c. friction-pressure
d. Bottom Hole Circulating temperature (BHCT)
b. mud removal

The key requirement in density measurement is to eliminate the entrained air effect on the measurement.
true
Which test determines the strength of set cement?
compressive strength test
What parameter determines how long the slurry will be pumpable?
thickening time
What is the result of free fluid separation in deviated wells?
incomplete zonal isolation
Slurry density has no effect on the cement final compressive strength.
false
All chemicals or cement blends should be sampled before loading out to the wellsite.
True
Which factor is responsible for primary cementing failures, as it can cause an increase in the cement slurry density and possible annular bridging?
poor fluid loss control
Which of the following is the required method of cement slurry-density measurement?
pressurized mud balance
What is the API mixing device with a high-shear, propeller mixer called?
mix blender
What unit of measurement does the fluid loss test result have?
mL/30 min

- Drop bottom plug. 10 minutes
- Mix/pump cement slurry. 40 minutes
- Drop top plug. 10 minutes
- Pump displacement. 50 minutes

240 minutes
A cement additive which reduces the effective viscosity of cement slurries
Dispersant
A material added to cement to increase te slurry yield and/or to reduce the slurry density
Extender
An abnormally early thickening or setting of cement slurry wherein the cement slurry becomes unpumpable?
Flash Set
Density must be adjusted to have downhole pressure above pore pressure to avoid formation fluid influx and below formation fracture pressure, to avoid losses.
True
in the Rheology explan a Yield Point?
(Ty) the force you need to move the fluid, the better the dispersion between the hydrating cement grain ins the lower the Ty will be
in the Rheology explan a Plastic Viscosity?
(Pv) the more solids are in a slurry, the higher Pv will be
How do you determine the gel strenght?
At 3 rpm in 10 sec, 10 min and 1 min mixing
