Better Well Cementing for ALL

The Leading Online Support Hub for Better Oil Well Cementing.

About

About

Better Well Cementing For All was created in 2016 by Lenin Diaz to share his knowledge as a cementing technical expert and manager.

In the middle of the biggest oil industry downturn in decades, Lenin found himself in an unplanned career break. As a pro-active and energetic person, he soon realized that his experience in drilling, workover, rigless fluids and cementing operations could be transferred to others.

Lenin thought, what better way to spend a ‘mini-retirement’ than to create a knowledge base of cementing tactics and experience? The same online archive of his skills and experience could work as a future resume, journal, student handbook, or possibly the start of a brand new company.

A specialist well-cementing company who could grow as a leading oilfield services organization!

As Lenin Explains…

I have held several positions in cementing engineering, project and operations management in Venezuela, Kuwait, Mexico, Central America and Iraq. Both locally and at regional/country level. My engineering and operational experience includes oil, gas (conventional, HPHT, LPHT, onshore and offshore) and geothermal wells.

With around two decades of experience in cementing, I have developed great knowledge in developing and implementing technical solutions targeting any well-specific challenge. I have been the technical leader for introducing, developing and deploying technical solutions in cementing, loss circulation control, water control, water shut-off in drilling rigs work overs, rigless and CT applications.

I have several SPE papers published and numerous internal company technical documents. I have full knowledge in all cementing and water control specialized software. I have developed cementing standards and practices for Schlumberger and BP including cementing standard, zonal isolation standard and drilling fluids standard.

Lenin Diaz well cementing expertWhether you are a student, apprentice, or an experienced well cementer, feel free to ask Lenin any question that you might have, all will be answered in good faith and at no cost.

Following the loss of my job in 2016 after a 20 year long career at that time, I started to post in LinkedIn, a series of 'Cementing Challenges' to keep ours minds 'active' around our beloved topic of well Cementing. This interaction with our community and their reaction to the 'challenges' was a fruitful learning experience, but to be honest it wasn’t enough to fill the space this downturn has left by keeping me away from the 'action'. This inspired me to go further not abandoning my passion in Cementing, but to dedicate a web site to well cementing and helping people.

How I survived the 2016 Downturn and the current difficult times?

Click this image to take a look. It is comprehensive and easy to follow too!

In 2016, I launched Better Cementing for All. Now, I want to keep it alive.

For more than 24 years, I have worked in oil well cementing, offering my services to some of the largest oil corporations in the world and committing myself to excellence. I have mastered my role, and in doing so, I have accrued a skill set that is extremely valuable to my fellow professionals. Eager to do whatever I can to help them, I have owned and operated Better Cementing for All since 2016.
Let me tell you what Better Cementing for All does and what it means. A resource for all oil industry professionals and for cementers both established and prospective, this is a non-profit resource that I established in order to do nothing but serve and make an impact on people who are looking to build careers for themselves in cementing.
From primary cementing to remedial cementing to plug cementing to post-job results, I do it all, and I am comfortable answering in-depth questions about each and every one of these topics. I also offer tools and tips for jobseekers, general self-development advice, and guidance for equipment choices. TO put it simply, this is the go-to spot for anyone who wants to know anything about oil well cementing.
The problem, however, is that covid-19 has made the structure of the website seem untenable. I am trying to juggle the work that I do and my non-profit initiatives and finding it all unhealthy and unsustainable. I want to keep Better Cementing for All up and running, but to do that, I need your help.
