Cementing Technologies (DRI30)

    Description

    Cementing is a fundamental element of well construction and plays a critical role throughout the well life cycle. Mud removal and centralisation are also key processes to ensure a successful cement job. In complex and extreme well environments, special-purpose cements are necessary to address unique challenges. Well integrity is compromised unless efficient cementing operations are carried out in every casing. Cementing forms the basis for efficient well performance. The course will also cover liner cementing, staged cementing, and secondary cementing operations.

    Course Level: Skill
    Duration: 5 days
    Instructor: Cipriano Costa
