Assignment 7 - Primary Cementing Of 7 " Production Casing
Given:
Hole depth = 13,900 ft
Hole size = 8.5 in
Casing Shoe = 13,891 ft
Mud weight = 11.6 ppg
Casing dimensions= OD/ID = 7 in/6.184
Grade C95 29#
Cement = cement column should be 6,562 ft
long, as follows:
From shoe to 656 ft, use API Class G cement,
From 656 ft to 6,562 ft, use API Class H cement with 2% bentonite and 0.3% HR-4
To prevent contamination of cement by mud, 30 bbl and 8.3 ppg of fresh water should be
pumped ahead
of the cement.
• Allow 15 min for release of plugs
• Shoe track: 80 ft
Calculate:
1) quantity of cement from each class;
2) volume of mix water;
3) total time for the job;
(Note: Mix cement at the rate of 25 sacks/min and displace cement at 300 gpm
4) pressure differential prior to bumping the plug;
5) annular velocity during chase;
6) total mud returns during the whole cementing operation.
From cementing tables (Halliburton or Dowell Schlumberger), the properties of the two classes
of cement including the additives are as follows:
