Case: ZR-326 (TP-213)
Objectives:
To perform a 1.90 sg single slurry cement job in order to secure the 18 5/8 Casing in place and to provide the
required mechanical and hydrostatic wellbore isolation integrity.
Job Evaluation:
Mix and pump the single slurry at the predetermined weight and rate

2.0 Procedures
2.1 Outline of Pre-Job Preparation Procedures
1.1. Spot and hook up all the equipment safely on location as per HMS and HSE guidelines. Test all
equipment and lines as appropriate to ensure correct function.
1.2. Rig up return lines on the rig floor so that switching to the rig pumps for displacement can be done in
the shortest possible time to minimize the effect of cement free fall.
1.3. Rig up cement unit so that the pressure transducer on the high pressure lines can monitor the
displacement pressure also during the displacement with the rig pumps.
1.4. It is recommended to pump a thin mud ahead (YP < 10 lbs/100 ft2) to improve mud displacement.
1.5. It is recommended to circulate the well 1-2 times bottoms up +/- 20 m3 @ 900 l/ min to enhance
cleaning and to condition well for the cement job.
1.6. It is recommended to confirm the efficiency factor of the mud pumps and to check the ID of the casing
by drifting a few joints.
1.7. Complete the job calculations. Review the engineering calculations attached on this report and the
Laboratory reports of each fluid.
1.8. Ensure that all the chemicals and cement are available, with excess, for the job.
1.9. Discuss the job with the Company Rep, agreeing on pumping procedures, volumes, rates and timing.
1.10. Prepare the required volume of slurry mix fluid in a clean water tank or batch mixer. Measure the sg of
the mix water to be used and ensure the salinity is not more than 1000 ppm. Take sample.
1.11. Follow the mixfluid additive addition as indicated in the Lab report. Circulate while adding and
continue till fluid is uniform. Note: Add retarder just prior to begin mixing the cement. Take sample of
mix fluid.
1.12. Add the bulk G or blend as close to the job time as possible. Cement slurry must not be kept on surface
for more than 2 hours. Check slurry sg and take final sample
1.13. Inform company representative that all fluids have been prepared and submit any appropriate pre-job
check list.

1.14. Hold safety and job procedure meeting. Identify possible hazards. Ensure that all personnel involved are
aware of job procedures, safety concerns and that everyone knows what their assigned duties and
responsibilities are. Ensure that all necessary PPE is available and worn as required.
1.15. Ensure the Work Permit has been approved for the pressure testing and for the cementing operation.
1.16. Pressure test surface lines to 500 psi & 3000 psi for 5 mins to ensure integrity of the unit and high
pressure pumping lines.
1.17. Pressure up the bulk silos just prior to commencing the job. Keeping pressure in the bulk for extended
periods of time could result in dry cement compaction and problems with cement delivery.
1.18. Pump 6 m3 of water.
1.19. Mix and pump slurry at 1.9 sg, adding fibres if required. Take samples of cement and slurry. Check the
sg of the slurry with the pressurized mud balance, initially and at regular intervals.
1.20. Displace cement the cement at 400 l/min.
1.21. Rig to watch for consistent returns. If losses are experienced while displacing, lower the rate but to no
less than 300 lpm (2 bpm) while always remaining within the indicated allowable pump time of the
slurry.
1.22. WOC for at least 12 hrs or for the time the cement reaches at least 500 psi strength, as shown in the
UCA chart. Observe strength of the cement samples on surface.
1.23. Conclude job and demobilize equipment, as per HMS ands HSE
1.24. Proceed by completing the appropriate job log, producing the pump chart and job ticket.
1.25. Pass on the appropriate paperwork to the Base cementing supervisor.
1.26. If a CBL is to be performed, it is recommended to be done at least after72 hrs from the end of the
cement job

1. Mud properties: Plastic viscosity (PV) should be as minimum as possible, yield point (YP) should be less than
15 lb/100ft decreasing down to about 10 lb/100 ft.
2. Mud gel strength: A non-thixotropic mud (flat gels profile) is desirable for good mud removal. Mud left in the
hole prior to running casing should have 10-second/10-minute/30-minute gel strength such that the 10-minute
is less than double the 10-second and the 30-minute is less than 20 lb/100 ft). Sufficient shear strength may
not be achieved on a primary cement job to effectivelly dispcace the mud, should the mud develop more than
25 lb/100 ft gel strength.
3. Mud fluid loss: Decreasing the filtrate loss into a permeable zone enhances the creation of a thin filter cake.
This increases the fluid mud in the hole, which is more easily removed. Generally, a fluid loss of less than 15 cc
is acceptable as target.
4. Circulation: Circulate bottoms up 2x, or until well-conditioned mud is being returned to the surface. There
should be no cuttings in the mud returns. Use high rates; an annular velocity of 260 feet per minute is optimum
(SPE/IADC 18617).
5. Pipe movement: Pipe movement may be one of the single most influential factors in mud removal.
Reciprocation and/or rotation mechanically break up gelled mud and constantly change the flow patterns in the
annulus for better cement bonding.
6. Flow rate: Turbulent flow is more desirable flow regime for mud removal. If turbulence cannot be achieved,
better mud removal is found when maximum flow energy is used. The maximum pump rate should be
determined to obtain the best flow regime and to ensure safe displacement.
7. Hole size: The optimum hole size recommended for good mud removal is 1.5 to 2 inches larger than the
casing or liner size. Hole sizes larger than 2 inches annular space can be dealt with, but those that are smaller
than 1.5 inches present difficult problems.
8. Pipe Centralization: This helps to create a uniform flow area perpendicular to flow direction. Cement will
take the path of least resistance so that centralization is important in keeping the pipe off the walls of the hole.
API recommended standoff is at least 70 percent.
9. Cement Waiting time: You must hold the cement slurry in place and under pressure until it hardens. Cement
slurry is a time-dependent liquid and must be allowed to undergo a hydration reaction to produce a competent
cement sheath. Fresh cement slurry can be worked (thickening or pump time) as long as it is plastic, and the
initial set of cement occurs during the rapid reaction stage. If the cement is not allowed to hydrate; it will be
subject to changes in density, dilution, settling, water separation, and gas cutting that can lead to lack of zonal
isolation with resultant bridging in the annulus.
10. Spacer and Preflush: It is recommended to use proper spacer/preflush volume to avoid contamination
between slurry and drilling fluid. Recommended volume can be easily calculated 1000 ft of annular height or 10
min of contact time, whichever is greater.
11. Rathole: When applicable, a weighted viscous pill in the rathole prevents cement from swapping with
lighter weight mud when displacement stops.
12. Shoe joint: A shoe joint is recommended on all primary casings and liners. The length of the shoe joint will
vary, although the absolute minimum length is one joint of pipe. If conditions exist, such as not running a
bottom plus, two joints should be the minimum lengths. Similarly deep set large casings may require more than
2 joints.
