Presentation By: Himanshu Rajawat
Petroleum EngineeringFinal Year
Submitted To:Department of Petroleum EngineeringUniversity College of Engineering,Rajasthan Technical University,Kota (Raj.)
Objectives Of Cementing Provide zonal isolation. Support axial load of casing string. Provide casing protection against corrosive fluids. Support the wellbore. Protect water zones . To keep the wellbore intact.
Cement Slurry Design Factors influencing slurry design
1. Well depth, diameter & casing size.2. Bottom Hole Circulating Temperature (BHCT)3. Bottom Hole Static Temperature (BHST)4. Bottom Hole Pressure (BHP)5. Sample of cement, cement additive, mixing
water.
slurry design is carried out under well simulated conditions with cementing materials to be used at site.
Cement Slurry Parameters.
Slurry Density Thickening Time Rheology Fluid Loss Control Free Water Content Compressive Strength
All these parameter should be taken care to maintain well security & integrity.
Cement Additives At present the cement classes G and H can be modified easily
through the use of additives to meet almost any job specifications economically.
Types of cement additives:
Accelerators Retarders Extenders Dispersant Fluid loss additives Anti-gas migration additives
Accelerators Used for shortening the Thickening Time Used for shallow, low temp. & pressure well.Commonly applied accelerators are:• Sodium Chloride• Calcium Chloride• Potassium Chloride• Sodium Silicate• Sea Water for mixing
Retarders• Retarders delay the hydration of cement to
provide sufficient time to pump slurry in the well.• Increase thickening time but also delay strength
development.
• Needed whenLong pumping times are requiredTemperatures are high.

Dispersants• Also called friction reducers, these
materials make cement slurries easier to mix and pump by making them less viscous.
• Act on surface charges of the cement grains.
• Secondary retardation • Enhances fluid loss control.

Fluid Loss Additives• Reduces the rate at which filtrate is lost to a
permeable formation. • Works by viscosifying the mix water or by
plugging the pore throat in the filtrate cake with long polymer chains.
• Examples: • Organic polymers (Cellulose) – CMHEC, HEC• Bentonite• Polyallylamine

Gas Migration Control Additive
• Gas migration control additives are used to reduce the risk of gas invading the cement and migrating into the wellbore.
• Commonly used agents: D-600 G D-700 G FLAG-56 BA-10S BA-58L
Extenders• Additives that reduce slurry density and
increase slurry yield are called extenders. – Most allow the addition of extra water to slurry• Cement may be lightened to protect weak
formations or slurry yield may be increased to reduce cost.
Examples: Bentonite, Sodium silicate , Pozzolans
( Diatomaceous earth, Fly ash, Fume silica )
Heavy Weight Additives• These are required to counter high formation
pressures. • Common high density materials are:- Haematite:• Form : Red powder• Specific Gravity:-4.7-5.25 (g/cm3)• An iron ore (Fe2O3),chemically inert and requires
little additional water. Barite• Form:-White powder• Specific Gravity:-4.230 (g/cm3) Barite is a barium sulfate material used to weight drilling mud and cement slurries.

MUD BALANCE
To minimize the danger of fracturing the formation, lost circulation or kicks. Cement slurry density should be more than or same as the drilling fluid density at cementing operation.
Fig: Mud Balance
It is operated according to the API Specifications.The mixer is operated at 4000 RPM for 15 sec., during which all the cement should be added to mix water and then at 12500 RPM for 35 sec.
CONSTANT SPEED MIXER
HP-HT CONSISTOMETERHP-HT Consistometer is used to determined the Thickening Time, the length of time which cements slurry remains in a pumpable fluid state under simulated wellbore conditions of temperature and pressure
ATMOSPHERIC CONSISTOMETER
It is used to conditioning of slurry for testing of rheological properties, fluid loss and various other properties. It works on Atmospheric Pressure.
VISCOMETERThe viscometer measures viscosity by applying a known shear rate on the cement slurry within the annular space b/w the outside sleeve or rotor and the bob.
FILTER PRESSAfter conditioning the slurry in atmospheric
consistometer, Here it is pressurised up to 1000psi. The loss of fluid is calculated.
HP-HT PRESSURIZED CURING CHAMBER
• It is a tool for compressive strength testing. It is designed to cure cement cube sample for compressive strength testing.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH MACHINE
It is used for the testing of the compressive strength of the cement. Cement cubes from the curing chamber are used for this purpose.
