Advanced Cementing Technology.

Cementing is a very important phase of the well construction plan. Operating company personnel must have a good working knowledge of cements, cementing additives and placement procedures. The use of temperature modeling, computer programs used for job design, and placement of the cement has caused some operating companies to retain a cement service company representative on a full time basis to assist in the overall cementing operations. The desire of the operator is 100 percent of the job success. The course will cover the use of cement formulations; cement additives, casing hardware, cement blending, on-site mixing equipment and a well-planned job procedure. Cementing guidelines will be covered that aid in overall job performance.

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:

  • Apply the latest techniques, tools and procedures in well cementing
  • Discuss the concepts and application of primary and remedial cementing and evaluation
