Far from being an animation expert, in my training courses, I always wanted to show my students a video with the complete sequence of the CT cementing process. Now I finally had the time and “patience” to make one. This will be part of a full post on remedial cementing with Coiled Tubing, but now […]
Webinar series (II). Quality Assurance in Cementing Operations (Spanish)
I am very happy to present here a webinar series on well cementing for my Spanish-speaking readers. This time from a good friend and former colleague, an expert in well cementing from my Mexico days, now a well known professional in the Americas. Mr. Diego Florez. This second webinar is about Quality Assurance in Cementing […]
Is a base necessary for your Cement Plug? – Part 2
In Part 1, I mentioned why cement plugs had taken a leading role in this website. It is so relevant to do sound engineering to avoid non-productive time and reduce the risk of even more disastrous consequences, like a placement pipe stuck in hard cement. In this subsequent post, I would like to introduce a […]

Workover Cementing Techniques. (3) Plug Cementing
Continuing with these series of posts covering some of the cementing techniques applicable in workover operations, I want to talk further about plug cementing. In previous posts, I have covered extensively plug cementing. This time I am providing information regarding laboratory testing and some considerations when cement plugs intended for well abandonment. Cement Slurry Properties […]
Workover Cementing Techniques. (2) Squeeze Cementing
Squeeze cementing is basically a filtration process that occurs during the placement of the cement slurry into a wellbore entry point (casing leak, existing perforations, etc.) under sufficient differential pressure. The cement slurry is held in place until it cures and establishes a hydraulic seal. Look at this picture in Squeeze Cementing Principles explaining the […]
