Cement Breakout Presentation
What is Dual Spacer/Water Based Spacer
Turbulent Flow Spacer, made with fresh water or brine water, usuable with any mud type, density range is 9.2 PPG to 22 PPG and can be used in a tempature range of 60 to 550 degrees F
What is BWOB
By weight of blend
What is BWOW
By weight of water
What is BVOW
By volume of water
What is FLECS
Flexible Electronic Control System
What is SKD
Skid Diesel
What is SKE
Skid Electric
Why Do We Use Foam Cement
Wellbore formatin cannot withstand the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid column without breaking down thus we foam the cement.
What are the Physical Properties of Foam Cement
- Low cement density
- High viscosity
- Low permeability
- High compress strength
- Stable at High Temperatures
- Highly Elastic
Foam cement is an extremen lightweight system used for cement slurries in order to prevent formation breakdown and gas migration
What if Foam Cement is Brought Back to Surface without Backside Pressure Applied
N2, Foam, Cement Blowout
Common Cement Types
Class A and B used in shallow wells
Class C- High early strength for shallow wells
Class G- High Strength cement used world wide
Class H- High Strength mainly used in US.
Describe Retarders as Additives
Primary Function- Retarders delay setting time of cement slurries
Secondary Function- Dispersant properties
What is micromatrix cement
Ultra fine retarder cement that repairs tight casing leaks, squeezes of off gravel packs, penetrates small channels
What do Accelerators Do To Cement Slurries
Increases early strength development and reduces WOC time.
What is the Most Widely Used Accelerator
Calcium Chloride- Used up to 1-4% BWOC
