INTRODUCTION
Cementing operations are critical for well life as they constitute the foundations of any gas or oil well. Well Integrity is compromised, unless efficient cementing operations are carried out in every casing job. Like the foundations of a house, Cementing is the basis for an efficient well performance.
This 4-day intensive Cementing Technologies training course will highlight:
- Overview of Primary Cementing
- Cement Placement (Job Execution and Procedures)
- Cement Calculations
- Cement Additives and Mud Removal
- Effective Cement Placement
- Cement Job Evaluation
- HSE and Cementing
Objectives
By the end of this GLOMACS training course, participants will learn to:
- Calculate Volumes of Cement, Mix Water and Additives
- Understand the critical parameters for any cementing operation
- Select displacement rates for effective mud removal
- When to select Two Stage Cementing
- Select the proper Additives based on Well Conditions
- Read and perform Interpretation of Cement Bond Logs
- Understand Special Cement Systems
- Select Casing Hardware for successful Cementing Operations
Training Methodology
This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice
