Cementing

Course Duration:

5 Working Days

Course Overview:

This course is for attendees already familiar with the basic concepts of well cementing and treatment design. The course provides specific engineering design considerations for a broad range of cementing, applications including; long term zonal isolation, deep water cementing, extreme high temperature high pressure cementing, permafrost cementing and gas well cementing. Specialized slurry designs for additional applications will also be covered. Instructors encourage an open and enjoyable atmosphere in which to share examples and ideas for improved cementing operations. The course is designed to augment the student’s knowledge base in the increasingly broad discipline of well cementing.

Course Objective:

Understand the theory and principles of solids control, Understand how Solids Control Equipment work both Individually and  as a system, Understand the impact of solids control on the drilling process, Familiarize with recommended equipment installation practices, Develop skills to assess (evaluate) proper equipment operation and Effective troubleshooting, Develop skills to maximize the value of solids control, either through Supervision of third party equipment or operation of company assets, Develop skills to  install, operate and supervise solids control equipment in order to achieve and sustain optimum performance ( Develop fit for purpose solutions, Maximize drill solids removal, Minimize whole mud losses, Minimize loss of commercial solids,  Provide optimum drilling fluid conditioning, Maximize equipment utilization, Used with drilling fluids and waste management, Provide Mud Engineers with knowledge to assess installations).
