Cementing is a very important phase of the well construction plan. Operating company personnel must have a good working knowledge of cements, cementing additives and placement procedures. The use of temperature modeling, computer programs used for job design, and placement of the cement has caused some operating companies to retain a cement service company representative on a full time basis to assist in the overall cementing operations. The desire of the operator is 100% of the job success. This course will cover the importance being placed on the cement sheath integrity during the life of the well. This has required that additional mechanical properties of the set cement be obtained other than the compressive strength. The parameters that the cement sheath will be subjected to must be considered. There are a number of joint industry projects addressing this area of work. The course will cover the use of cement formulations; cement additives, casing hardware, cement blending, on-site mixing equipment and a well-planned job procedure. Cementing guidelines will be covered that aid in overall job performance.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
Drilling Engineers, Senior Drilling Engineers, Drilling Supervisors, Work over Engineers, Petroleum Engineers, Completion Engineers, Tool Pushers, Reservoir and Senior Reservoir Engineers, Geologists, Production Engineers, Well site Engineers, Foremen, and Industry Personnel.
