In a 12 hole, 9.5/8 (40 lb/ft) L80 casing with an ID of 8.835 was run
Question:
In a 12 ¼" hole, 9.5/8" (40 lb/ft) L80 casing with an ID of 8.835" was run in to a
shoe depth of 6,100 ft TVD. The float collar at the 6,020 ft. Hole is assumed to
be in gauge.
Top of Cement at 4,000 ft
Top of Spacer at 5,000 ft
Spacer Weight = 12 ppg
Mud Weight = 10 ppg
Cement Class H:
Yield = 1.15 cuft/sk
Density = 16 lb/gal
Water Requirement 4.5 gal/sk
1 barrel = 5.615 ft3
1 Barrel = 42 gallons
Sack cementing weighs 94 lbs
Calculate:
(i) Volume of cement slurry;
(ii) Number of sacks of cement required;
(iii) Volume of water mix required;
(iv) If the cement is displaced with mud and the plugs bump, what would be
the final displacement pressure.

Question 2
Along with the cementing unit what other topsides and downhole equipment are
required to carry out the 9 5/8" primary cementing job?
