Casing

Calibrate rig pumps efficiency during the conditioning trip prior to pulling out of the hole to run casing. Check and line up manifold valves so that pumping can start upon positioning liner with shoe in place. Washing down the liner could be necessary. Use liner with 60,000 lbs shear pin. 1. Setting Temblock Plug / Example 7in liner 2 stage cementing procedure

This article presents an example of calculation for a typical 9 5/8″ casing cementation (cement volumes, displacement volumes, pressure at bump, etc.).   Relevant Data Vertical exploration well. Previous casing: 13 3/8in, 72 lbs/ft, N‑80, BTC, set at 3724 ft BDF. 12.1/4in hole drilled to 5102 ft BDF. 9.5/8in casing, 47 lbs/ft, N‑80, VAM, run to Example Calculation 9.5/8in Casing Cementation

This article gives an example of calculation for a typical 20″ casing cemented with stinger (cement volumes, displacement volumes, collapse and floating). Relevant Data Derrick floor elevation: 100 ft (above Mean Sea Level  (MSL)). Water level: 100ft 30in conductor driven to 300 ft BDF. 26in hole drilled to 600 ft BDF (vertical, gauge hole). Cement: Example Calculation 20in Casing Cementing (Stinger)

1. Multiple Stage Cementing Tools Multiple stage cementing (MSC) tools can be run in the casing string for any of the following reasons: To improve the chance of retrieving casing from a specific depth eg., to allow for the possibility of sidetracking later. Using such a collar, the cement slurry can be circulated out from Multiple Stage Cementing Tools and Procedure

1. RIH 4 ½” liner to shoe depth (Top of liner at RMLS window) as below – 4 ½” smith needle nose float shoe made up with Baker Lok on one joint of 4 ½” casing– 3 joints of 4 ½” casing as the shoe track– Latch down landing collar – Solid body aluminium centralisers Example 4.1/2in Liner Cementing Procedure

Procedure for single stage cementing operations whith an ES cementer and ECP installed: Prepare 30 bbls spacer 500 (10.5 ppg) in slug pit as per mixing procedure, while circulating. Set the hanger as per setting procedure, bleed off pressure to 0 psi, then presure test casing to 2500 psi for 10 mins. Increase pressure in General Liner Cementation Procedure

Circulate casing and condition mud. a minimum of 150 % of the casing contents must be circulated. Carry out circulation test to assess displacement rates, carefully monitor for losses. Drop first bottom plug (optional) and pump preflush. if a problem occurs which cannot be fixed in less than 20 minutes, the preflush must be circulated Single Stage (Plug Type) Casing Cementation Procedure

For offshore cementation of the 20in surface conductor, the following procedures shall be used for inner string cementation: Make up stab-in sub and centraliser and rih on 5in drillpipe. Stab stinger into the float shoe and engage the cementing tool to the casing head housing. Fill drillpipe and check for any returns from inside casing Inner String (Stinger) Casing Cementation Procedure
