Question: We drilled a 1 2 . 2 5 ' ' vertical hole section down to 1 0 , 0 0 0 f t . The

We drilled a 12.25'' vertical hole section down to 10,000ft. The previous casing, 13-
38'',72lbfft, was run and cemented at 2,000ft. We will run and cement 9-58''
casing (47lbft). We want to perform a two-stage cement job. DV tool and float
collar will be set at 5,500ft and 9,920ft, respectively. In both stages, we would like
to have 600 ft tail cement. Excess in the open hole section and Safety Factor (SF) for
thickening time are 100% and 90 minutes, respectively. The lead and tail cement data
for both stages are given in the following table. Calculate:
a) Volume of both tail and lead cements required for both stages.
b) Number of sacks of cement required for both tail and lead cement in each
stage.
c) Displacement volume.
d) If we do cement and displacement at 7 and 8bblmin(bpm), respectively,
what would be the minimum thickening time for each slurry?
e) Draw an idealized pressure vs. volume chart for the job, if no loss happens.
You need to explain each part of the graph.
Note I: The weight of each sack of cement is 94 lbs .
Note II: Ignore the rat hole volume.
