Cementing Flowchart

June 13, 2021 By Lenin Diaz 4 Comments

Cementing Flowchart

In recent weeks, I received some reader requests to include cement job processes or procedures as reference material on the website. I was initially puzzled about the best way to do that without going into too much detail. I went to work to think of whether a cementing flowchart would capture everything sufficiently.

How can we simplify a complex process into something easy to follow? Finally, I have come up with a generic flowchart for my two favorite high-level processes:

1) The overall process and

2) Cementing fluids QA/QC.

Please see below:

Cementing Process
Cementing Fluids QA/QC

I have always been a fan of flowcharts, and some people might see them as things of the past, but I find them to be an excellent method to explain a process and being able to see all the steps and how they are linked to produce an outcome. These two are probably the most critical process flowchart in well cementing.

Now, if you look at the cementing flowchart, there is a STAGE 4 missing; CAN YOU TELL WHAT IS IT? .. and no clues here, I think you should know by now, I usually refer to this stage in most of my posts about getting Well Cementing Right. CAN YOU TELL?

Cheers, L. Diaz

    Lenin, certainly flow charts are an excellent tool to understand the process but also for troubleshooting and investigation purposes, a really high percentage of cementing jobs failures during the execution are related to human errors, people taking shortages or simply not following process, I figured out that the step 4 is the post job process where al facts of the job are recorded, cement unit cleaned and tested for next job, customer feedback, maintenance request if required, keeping and guarding witness samples and any other documentation or steps required by each service or customer, well done Lenin

    Hello Lenin, first of all, thank you so much for your support to everyone of us. Now a question… Is it on the market a good and complete Cementing supervisor course? Which is the best training center? I would like to have that training. Thank you very much!.

      Hi Christian
      There is no training for a cementing supervisor to my knowledge. Practical training as such is normally provided by cementing companies themselves

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

For more than 26 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.
