4.1 Introduction to Cementing Plugs
Cementing plugs are normally used during cement-
ing operations to cement casing in a wellbore. They
offer the following advantages:
• They wipe mud sheath from the casing ID.
• They separate cement from wellbore fluids
during cementing operations.
• They help prevent overdisplacement of cement
slurry.
• They provide a surface indication when the
cementing job is complete.
• High-pressure cementing plugs allow casing to
be pressure-tested immediately after cement
displacement and before floats are checked.
Halliburton cementing plugs are designed for use
with Halliburton cementing heads and Halliburton
float equipment. Halliburton cementing plugs, re-
gardless of the plug type, should be used with cau-
tion when used with competitors’ plugs containers or
float equipment. The competitors’ cementing heads
may cause the cementing plugs to be released pre-
maturely or the plugs may fail to hold pressure when
the top plug lands on the float collar. Additionally,
competitors’ plugs should not be used with
Halliburton plug containers or float equipment for
the same reasons.
Run Halliburton cementing plugs as follows:
1. Ensure that floating equipment or the landing
seat is flat. Tapered seats, seats with uneven
surfaces, and seats with spikes or nails on
them can cock plugs and/or keep them from
landing and sealing properly. If using
nonrotating plugs, make sure they match the
float collar.

Cementing Plugs
2. If possible, install the bottom plug in the plug
container before installing it on the casing.
3. Release the bottom plug at the start of ce-
ment, then shut down and load the top plug.
Resume pumping cement.
Note: To help prevent air from entering the
system, do not open the plug container or
break the line before releasing the top plug.
This prevention can best be accomplished by
using a double plug container.
4. Release the top plug at the tail end of cement.
Note: To help prevent the plug from spinning
during drillout, place a small amount of cement
behind the plug to cement it in place.
In most cases, running both a top and bottom ce-
menting plug is desirable. The bottom plug should be
pumped ahead of the cement slurry to wipe off any
rust, mill scale, machining cuttings, and mud cling-
ing to the casing ID. Any debris pumped ahead of the
cement should be displaced into the annulus.
If only a top plug is used, any debris in the casing ID
will be wiped off by the top cementing plug. If the
accumulation of debris is greater than the length of
the shoe track (distance between float collar and
bottom of the casing), this debris will be pumped into
the annulus between the casing and the wellbore,
contaminating the cement opposite the shoe track.
This contaminated cement may result in a poor
quality of cement around the shoe joint. A top and
bottom cementing plug should always be run to help
ensure a successful cement job.

4.2 Types of Cementing Plugs
Halliburton uses a number of cementing plugs,
including:
• Standard top and bottom plugs with plastic
inserts
• Standard top and bottom plugs with alumi-
num inserts
• NR (nonrotating) top and bottom plugs with
plastic inserts
• High-strength NR top and bottom cementing
plugs
• Light-duty wooden top and bottom plugs
• Combination top and bottom plugs for tapered
casing strings
• Latchdown plugs for tubing
• MSC (multiple-stage cementer) latchdown plugs
4.2.1 HWE™ (High Wiping
Efficiency) Cementing Plugs
The HWE top and bottom cementing plugs are de-
signed to help improve wiping efficiency during
cementing operations. The more efficiently the wiper
plugs wipe the casing ID, the less fill will be left in the
casing above the top cementing plug. The wipers of
the HWE plug are a deep-cup design, which provides
greater wiping efficiency. The bottom plug is sup-
plied with a 750-psi rupture disc that helps ensure
that the plug reaches the float collar. Because of its
rubber molding, the HWE plug can be run in water-
based mud, oil-based mud, and synthetic mud sys-
tems. See Section 4.3 for more details about the
HWE cementing plug.
May 2004
Cementing Plugs
• Casing-size three-wiper latchdown plugs
• Standard and high-strength SSR® (subsurface
release) top and bottom plugs
• HWE™ (high wiping efficiency) top and bot-
tom plugs
The SSR plugs are used in subsea applications where
the SSR plug set is hung in the top joint of the casing,
which is hung off a subsea tree located at the ocean
floor. SSR plugs can also be used with many liner
hangers.
Plastic-insert plugs can be used in wells with
bottomhole circulating temperatures (BHCTs) up to
400°F. However, plug-landing pressure ratings are
based on 300°F unless otherwise stated on the
HalWorld website at the following address:
<http://halworld.halnet.com/hes/hesps/
hespszi/hespszice/hespszice_Manl/
hespszice_Manl_83706878b.pdf>
4.2.2 Standard Five-Wiper
Cementing Plugs
The five-wiper cementing plug is Halliburton’s
primary cementing plug. Five-wiper plugs are
available in 4 ½- through 20-in. casing sizes with
standard plastic or aluminum inserts and 24-tooth
NR plastic inserts in many sizes. In all types of
five-wiper cementing plugs, the top cup of the top
cementing plug is a deep-cup design that provides
maximum wiping efficiency. The top plug is black,
while the bottom plug is orange or red. When
landed on the float collar, the bottom wiper of the
bottom plug provides the seal for pressure shutoff.
When landed on a bottom plug, the top plug seals
on the bottom plug.
4.2-1
Cementing Plugs Casing Sales Manual
4.2.2.1 Plastic Insert Standard Five-
Wiper Plugs
Five-wiper plastic insert plugs are available molded
with standard (water-based) rubber for use with
water-based mud compounds as well as synthetic
(oil-resistant) rubber for oil-based or synthetic mud
systems. Proper cementing plug selection is essen-
tial to a successful cement job. Ensure that the
proper plug is selected for the type of mud system in
which it is to be run. See Sections 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 for
plug part numbers for both standard (water-based)
and synthetic (oil-resistant) mud systems. The proper
plug should be supplied for the mud system in which
it is to be run. If a new synthetic (usually oil or
mineral oil) base is to be used, contact the Casing
Equipment Group in Duncan, Oklahoma.
After cementing operations are completed, the plastic
insert plug can be drilled out with either a standard
roller-cone rock bit or a PDC fixed cutter bit.
4.2.2.2 Aluminum Insert Standard Five-
Wiper Plugs
Aluminum plugs are made with aluminum core
inserts and are available as top and bottom plugs.
Aluminum insert plugs are supplied for water-based
mud systems and synthetic (oil-resistant) mud sys-
tems. See Sections 4.7.1 and 4.7.2 for part numbers
for both standard (water-based mud) or synthetic
(oil-resistant) mud systems. The proper plug should
be supplied for the mud system in which it is to be
run. After cementing operations have been com-
pleted, the aluminum-inserted plugs can be drilled
out with a standard roller-cone rock bit. These plugs
should not be drilled out with PDC bits.
4.2.2.3 Nonrotating (NR) Cementing
Plugs
Designed for use with Super Seal II™ NR float
collars, top and bottom NR plugs have locking teeth
that help prevent the plugs from spinning during
drillout, which reduces drillout times and associated
rig costs. The high-strength plastic inserts used in
NR plugs increase plug-landing pressures and allow
easy drillout with both PDC and roller-cone rock
bits. NR plugs are available for 7- to 20-in. casing
sizes in surface release and SSR plug systems.
4.2-2
NR plugs are made of a synthetic service compound
that is compatible with water-based and synthetic
mud systems. Five-wiper high-strength NR cement-
ing plugs can be used with high-strength float collars
to pressure-test casing immediately after cement
has been pumped and is still in the fluid stage.
However, when NR plugs are used with wiper cups
to make combination plug sets, rubber compatibility
should be considered.
See Section 4.5 for the part numbers for all NR plug
sets. NR plugs below 7-in. size are not available
because of size limitations.
4.2.2.4 SSR® Subsurface Release
Cementing Plug System
The SSR® subsurface release cementing plug system
allows cementing operations to be performed from a
floating vessel or fixed platform that uses a subsea
wellhead. The SSR cementing plug set is installed in
the top joint of the casing string. The plug set is made
up to the bottom of an installation tool that is attached
to the top joint of the casing string. A swivel-equalizer
valve is run between the installation tool and the SSR
plug set. The installation tool and casing string are
lowered on a drillpipe string, landing and sealing in
the subsea wellhead on the ocean floor. When the tool
and string have landed, the well can be circulated
before cementing operations.
The bottom SSR plug is released ahead of the cement
by a weighted plastic ball dropped down the drillstring.
The ball lands on a seat of the bottom plug, releasing
the bottom SSR plug. When the bottom SSR plug
lands on the float collar, a bypass mechanism allows
the cement to pump around the ball.
After all the cement has been mixed and pumped into
the drillpipe, a drillpipe-releasing dart is launched
from the surface to wipe the drillpipe ID and release
the top SSR plug. The drillpipe plug latches and seals
in the top SSR plug. The top SSR plug is then pumped
to a pressure shutoff on the float collar.
Standard SSR plugs and NR SSR plugs are avail-
able in top or top-and-bottom plug sets for 7- to
20-in. casing sizes. Drillpipe-releasing darts are
available for use with 4 1/ 2-, 5-, 5 1/2-, and 6 5/8-in.
drillpipe sizes. NR plugs are also available for
combination casing strings. Combination plug sets
for tapered casing strings can be supplied to meet
customer requirements.
May 2004
 Casing Sales Manual
SSR plug sets are available with aluminum, plastic,
and NR plastic inserts. Plastic plug sets can be
drilled with PDC or roller-cone rock bits, while
aluminum insert plug sets should be drilled only
with roller-cone rock bits.
Top SSR plugs are available in standard and NR
designs from 7 in. through 20 in.
4.2.3 Light-Duty Plugs
Wooden and plastic light-duty plugs can provide an
economical method of separating fluids and achiev-
ing easy drillout for shallow cementing operations.
Use these plugs in applications where high-pressure
sealing and shutoff are not necessary.
Light-duty top and bottom wooden plugs are avail-
able for casing sizes 4 ½- to 20-in. These plugs are used
primarily on surface pipe jobs or in shallow wells
where casing wiping is not critical and high shutoff
pressures are not required. These plugs typically
have two wipers on the OD of the plug. One wiper is
at the top of the plug, and the second wiper is on the
bottom of the plug. These plugs provide good separa-
tion between the wellbore and the cement.
Section 4.8 provides more information about light-
duty wooden plugs.
4.2.4 Plugs for Combination
Casing Strings
Combination plugs are used to separate wellbore
fluids, displacing fluids, and cement during cement-
ing operations using multiple sizes or weights of
casing in a single string. Additional information
about combination plugs can be reviewed in Section
4.9. Combination plugs for tapered casing strings
may use standard or SSR plug sets.
May 2004
Cementing Plugs
4.2.5 Plug Restrainers
Plug restrainers are sometimes installed in the casing
string immediately above the flash collar. The re-
strainers are made from mild steel slats. When the top
plug has been pumped past the restrainer, fingers on
the restrainers prevent the plug from moving up the
hole because air is entrapped below the plug.
4.2.6 Fluid Compatibility
Before cementing, choosing the correct fluid system
for one or more casing strings in the hole is impor-
tant. Some plugs are molded of standard rubber
stock, which works well with a water-based mud
system. This rubber compound may fail in cement-
ing operations performed on wells with synthetic-
fluid or oil-based mud systems.
4.2.7 Pressure Ratings
Cementing plugs must withstand the plug-landing
pressure applied to the casing during a casing pres-
sure test. Depending on the casing size and weight,
the standard five-wiper cementing plugs may be
insufficient to meet pressure test requirements. For
such situations special equipment combinations can
be supplied.
Note: Performance ratings of Halliburton
equipment combinations may exceed casing
performance ratings.
Recommended working pressure ratings for cement-
ing plugs are packaged with each piece of equipment
and can be viewed through the following link:

4.3 HWE™ (High Wiping Efficiency) Cementing Plugs
HWE™ cementing plugs (Figures 4.3.A and 4.3.B)
are designed to improve the removal of mud film,
mud cake, rust, and mill scale from the casing
string ID during cementing operations. HWE plugs
leave less cement fill above the float collar and often
save the operator a bit trip in the hole to drill out
excess cement inside completion casing strings.
HWE plugs are available in both top and bottom
cementing plugs. The bottom plug contains a 750-psi
rupture disc that helps ensure that the plug reaches
the float collar.
DN004885
Figure 4.3.A—HWE cementing top plug
July 2004
Cementing Plugs
The deep rubber cups of HWE plugs provide excel-
lent wiping action and more debris can be pushed
ahead of the bottom plug before the 750-psi bottom
plug disc bursts. After the diaphragm has burst, the
bottom plug ID is opened up and flow of fluid being
pumped through the plug is not restricted. Tables
4.3.A and 4.3.B, along with Figures 4.3.C and
4.3.D, provide dimensional data about the currently
available HWE plugs. HWE plugs are suitable for
use with water-based and oil-/synthetic-based drill-
ing fluids up to 400°F BHCT.

choose the correct plug based on the mud system
being used. Plastic insert five-wiper plugs are gen-
erally used at bottomhole circulating temperatures
up to 400°F. If the shoe track will be drilled out after
cementing operations, plastic insert plugs, rather
than aluminum insert plugs, are preferred because
they can be drilled out with PDC bits. Using plastic
insert plugs can save the operator time and money
during drillout.

Note: Plastic and aluminum (natural and syn-
thetic service) five-wiper plugs in nine core
sizes are being replaced with Halliburton's
new high wiping erfficiency (HWE) cementing
plugs. HWE cementing plugs have been in
field testing since autumn 2000 and are now
ready for full production. The full-phase intro-
duction of HWE will be completed in 2004 with
the HWE plugs listed in Section 4.3. Five-
wiper plugs that are not affected by the intro-
duction of HWE plugs are five-wiper plastic
and aluminum non-core sizes, all 20-tooth and
24-tooth NR cementing plugs, and SSR plug
sets. Complete details on the introduction of
HWE cementing plugs will be available on the
HalWorld website in the spring of 2004.

4.6.3 Minimum Casing IDs for Five-Wiper Plugs

Five-wiper top and bottom plugs are often used to
pump through casing IDs that are restricted by frac
baffles, multiple-stage cementers, or Type P or H
stage tools and other restrictions. The bottom plug
must easily pass through these restrictions without
rupturing. If the bottom plug hangs on a casing
restriction and the diaphragm is ruptured, the plug
stops moving down the casing. Any displacing fluid
remaining to be pumped will contaminate the ce-
ment being pumped. Table 4.6.3.A lists the mini-

The top plug was designed with standard inserts and

is black (Figure 4.7.1.A). They are molded with an
oil-resistant compound for synthetic service. The top
aluminum insert plug should be drilled out with a

4.8 Light-Duty Wooden Plugs

Wooden and plastic light-duty plugs (Figure 4.8.A)
can provide an economical method of separating
fluids from the cement and achieving easy drillout.
These plugs should be used where high-pressure
sealing and shutoff are not necessary.

Table 4.8.A provides information about top deep-

cup wooden cementing plugs, an example of which
is shown in Figure 4.8.B. These two-wiper deep
cups provide good separation of the cement and

DN002953
displacing fluid as well as adequately wiping the
casing ID. These plugs are available at an economi-
cal cost in 4 ½-in. to 20-in. casing sizes. These plugs
can be drilled out in a minimal length of time with Figure 4.8.A—Light-duty wooden plug
either roller-cone rock bits or PDC bits.
