Cementation
Oil Well cementing is the process of mixing aslurry of cement and water and displacing itdown the casing, tubing or drill pipe to a prespecied point in the well
Primary cementingThe cementing taes place soon after thelowering of casing is called primary cementation!
"econdary cementing
#ny other operations where cement is pumpedin a well either during drilling operation or inproduction phase

Primary Cementation
Why we need to pump cement in a well$ #n oil%gas well is completed in stages!
ach stage is secured %completed bylowering a suitable si'e steel pipe (casing)!
The casing pipes are held in its position byan ade*uate length of cement bondbetween pipe and annulus!
Cement is mixed with water to form acement slurry of desired density andpumped into the pipe and displaced in theannulus between casing and open hole!

6t is the +ost common techni*ue
7ormally accomplished by pumping one batch ofcement down the casing between two rubber plugs!
The bottom plug is placed in the casing, followed bycement slurry!
When the batch of cement has been pumped into
the casing, a top plug is released!
The top plug is pumped down until it lands on thetop of 1oat collar, thus completing the cement 8ob!
