Gas Flows in the Cementing Industry

Introduction

Cementing is the most critical operation for well integrity and zonal isolation. This training course will provide engineers and field supervisors with an in-depth knowledge of cementing fluid design and selection, cement placement and mud removal, strategies to prevent gas migration, HPHT, horizontal well and Deepwater cementing, long term zonal isolation and cement evaluation, as well as remedial cementing techniques.  

This training course will highlight:

  • Cement and cementing additive selection
  • Laboratory testing
  • Cement placement
  • Gas migration
  • Deepwater / HPHT & Horizontal well cementing
  • Long term cement zonal isolation
  • Remedial Cementing: Plug & Squeeze
  • Cement evaluation

Objectives

    • To acquire a detailed knowledge of the different cementing techniques
    • To address special cases: liner, highly deviated wells, gas zones
    • To design a full cementing program for a real typical case
    • To assess the quality of a cementing job
    • To master the vocabulary specific to cementing
    • To understand and use primary cementing techniques and procedures
    • To select cement and necessary additives
    • To calculate major parameters in a cementing operation
    • To assess the quality of a cementing job

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
