Cement Integrity Assurance and Evaluation

Cement Integrity Assurance and Evaluation

About the Course

The cement sheath behind the casing is the first barrier between the reservoir and the surface. Any failure, either during the placement or in the first hours following the cement job, can lead to catastrophic consequences related to safety and costs related to safety and environment. The cement sheath integrity is also a key factor controlling the life of the well. The development of fluid migration paths in the annulus or fractures can dramatically shorten the life of the well and reduce its value.

Therefore, it is extremely important to understand and control drilling, cementing, and well completion parameters, all of which can affect the integrity of the cement sheath for the entire life of the well.

 

Course Objectives

• Course participants will take part in a detailed review of the cementing processes, cement sheath evaluation, and discussion of various measurement methods and interpretation techniques.
• Remedial cementing theory and practical application of squeeze methods will be covered so that if the primary cement job is not successful the participants will understand how to repair or correct a cement integrity failure.
