The operator is critical to the success of the job. This course covers the importance of the cement sheath integrity during the life of the well, which will require additional mechanical properties of the cement sheath than just the unconfined compressive strength in many cases. The parameters that the cement sheath will be subjected to must be considered. There are a number of joint industry projects addressing this area of work. The course covers the use of cement formulations, cement additives, casing hardware, cement blending, on-site mixing equipment, and a well-planned job procedure. Cementing guidelines that aid in overall job performance will be covered.

You will learn how to:

• Use cementing additives properly to improve and reduce job costs
• Interpret laboratory test results
• Perform primary cementing operations to include: casing cementing, liner cementing, multi-stage cementing
• Conduct squeeze jobs and selection of squeeze tools
• Perform cement plug operations to improve overall job success
• Interpret cement sheath evaluation logs
