Introduction

Cementing is a fundamental element of effective well construction. By understanding cement chemistry, additive use, and lab procedures the participants will able to build a solid foundation to design and execute cement jobs. Mud removal and centralization will be taught so that the participants can apply effective processes to ensure cement job success.

Special purpose cements will be discussed in a way to show when they should and should not be used, as well as how they can be used to solve challenges encountered in complex and extreme well environments. Foamed, engineered particle sized, flexible, and salt cements will also be covered in detail.

During this course, participants will practice cementing calculations, as well as job design exercises and cement evaluation methods using real-life examples. Liner cementing and stage cementing jobs will be developed in the classroom. Cement design software will also be demonstrated.

This course builds a firm foundation in the principles and practices of designing, planning and conducting successful casing and cement jobs. The course uses a process-based perspective that takes participants from initial casing depth and size selection, casing and liner design procedures, casing running practices, and planning and executing primary cementing through remedial cementing and plugging operations. In addition to the necessary technical information and procedures, the course is laced with considerable practical, experience-based content.

Methodology

This course combines sound engineering, operation and maintenance principles, applicable standards, and best industry practices for reliable and cost-effective process plant systems. Delegates will be encouraged to introduce problems of their own for discussion and analysis. Copies of all lecture materials, case studies, and workbooks will be provided. Group discussions will be carried out on problems faced. This training program is lecture-based and customized to the needs of the audience, providing a meaningful experience for personnel who work in petroleum plants. Daily sessions include formal presentations, prepared in PowerPoint, interspersed with directed discussions and case studies. In addition to formal lectures and discussions, the delegates will learn by active participation through the use of problem-solving exercises, group discussions, analysis of real-life case studies, etc. Many relevant videos will be shown during the training.

All attendees receive a course manual as a reference.
