Reports
The Cementing report is used to record detailed information for each cement job performed on the Well.
Oil well cementing is the process of mixing and displacing a cement slurry down the casing and up the annulus behind the pipe where it is allowed to set, thus bonding the pipe to the Wellbore formation and providing hydraulic and pressure isolation of the open hole through which the casing/liner was run. In OpenWells® software, three Cement Job types are supported:
Plug cement jobs are performed for a variety of reasons to isolate a portion of the Wellbore from the Wellbore above.
Primary cementing is performed immediately after the casing or liner is run into the hole. Its objective is to provide zonal isolation to prevent migration of formation fluids in the annulus and help protect the pipe by safely anchoring and supporting the string. Secondary cement jobs are performed after the primary cement job.
Squeeze cement jobs are performed to force a cement slurry under pressure through holes or splits in the casing/wellbore annular space. The slurry then flows into a permeable formation or fracture and hardens thus sealing that formation interval from the well.
The Cementing report is organized into the following sections. Click a topic to view more information.
General - Records cementing job summary information.
Fluids - Records information for each fluid circulated in one or more of the cement stages defined within the report.
Stages - Defines each cement stage and pumping schedule included in the job. Single stage and multi-stage cement jobs are supported.
Tests - Records the results of different tests performed to determine the quality of the cement bond between the borehole wall and the pipe.
Intermediate Circulations - Records circulation operations during the cement job.
Pump Equipment - Records the pump equipment used during the cement job.
Isolated Intervals - Records specific wellbore intervals required to be sealed by the cement job.
Work Strings - Records work string details used during the cement job.
Job Activity - Records the detailed activity information during the cement job.
Remarks - Contains a memo field that allows free-form text entry.
