Cementing of wellbore is one of the most critical operation in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells. The most important function of Oil & Gas well cementing is to isolate the various zones within wellbore, provide adequate support for casing, and prevent any fluids to migrate.
Cementing Calculations:
Total sack of cement is in sack. Total volume of cement is gallon. Yield of cement is gal/sack. Total sack of cement = 6300 ÷ 11.257 = 560 sacks
The ratio for a basic concrete slurry mix is 1 or 2 parts Portland cement to 1 part water. Start with equal parts cement and water, and then add more cement until you have the desired consistency.
Cementing materials may be siliceous or calcareous. Calcium carbonate and silica are the major constituents of cementing materials. Other constituents are quartz, feldspar, calcite, clay, iron oxide, calcium oxide, copper sulphate, manganese, aluminum, and sulphur.
A component installed near the bottom of the casing string on which cement plugs land during the primary cementing operation. It typically consists of a short length of casing fitted with a check valve.
In oil well-cementing operations, ordinary Portland cement (API standard) is mixed with water
and other additives such as dispersant, fluid loss additives, and friction loss additives to form cement
slurry. The so-formed slurry is pumped downhole around the casing in an oil well. The cement
sheath formed around the casing serves various functions such as supporting the weight of casing
string, isolation of various zones around the casing and preventing the casing from oxidation. Often,
cracks are developed in the cement sheath owing to shrinkage, de-bonding of the cement sheath
from the casing or well-bore.
