Though I am far from being an animation expert, during my training courses I have always wanted to show my students a video with the complete sequence of the coiled tubing cementing process.
Recently, I finally found the time and “patience” to make that very video. This will be part of a full post on the topic, but I’m putting it here now as a kind of preview in the hope of receiving your feedback.
This video is for just for you, my visitors, so please help me to make it better with your constructive comments.
What did you think? Did you like this animation showing cementing with coiled tubing? Do you want to see more content like this? If so, please let me know what you would like to see and I’ll do my best to get it online. It doesn’t have to be about cementing with coiled tubing – anything related to the content on this website is fair game!
If you are a student or a teacher yourself, I also recommend the Youtube channel Engineering Animations, they have lots of great, easy-to-understand videos on various engineering concepts which can be useful for reinforcing your knowledge.
Finally, it only makes sense for me to continue making content and keeping this website running if it continues to receive your use and support.
All the best,
L. Diaz
Good work

Great job Lenin,
simple and insightful which is always best to get the point. how about including some audio next time? i
Yes, Montader, that is the plan and currently working on it
Very good work
Thanks Amr, glad you like it. It took a lot of work to be honest, and I think it covers well what I wanted to do, but I believe it can still be improved and that is why your comments and feedback are so important. Once again Thank you

Lenin,
The presentation was first-rate – well done. Yet, in real-world situations, there is always the unforeseen variable – be it human error, equipment failure, or downhole problems that arise, and no matter how well a presented job was – it quickly goes pear-shaped.
Thanks Thomas, I appreciate your comments and more importantly, your interest in proper well cementing.
Cheers

Very cool and educational animation!
Great job! Gefei
Hi Gefei, thanks for your comment. It means a lot to me comming from head of PVI, the creators of CemPRO+. The best cementing simulation in the market.

Lenin, very good animation and comprehensive content in using CTU to spot cement plug. Remedial Cementing is a key domain that requires a lot of knowledge and experience. Thanks for sharing some of yours with the cementing community.
Great to see you comment here, Greg. Thanks a lot.
Muy bien ilustrado tecnicamente Ingeniero, gracias por considerarme
Muchas Gracias Estimado Ingeniero Camara, mis respetos
Excellent video Lenin and very informative.
The information and the graphics combined made it very engaging.
Great work. Keep it up.
Super quality and very knowledgeable. Please keep up the good work we became addicted to this website.
Thanks a lot Marwan, I will certainly keep on working and sharing cementing knowledge.
Cheers

Lenin,
Since the period when we had the pleasure to work together on a well campaign with extremely challenging well integrity issues, I have always respected your professional opinion on such matters.
Sharing this knowledge with a global audience takes time and expense which is often underestimated in our modern world where data access is considered to be a free resource. Rarely is the effort appreciated or truly rewarded.
While there is doubt that the oil and gas industry must transform, I do sincerely hope that the temptation to ‘dumb down’ isn’t the chosen path. Professionals like yourself have a part to play in the most effective method of cost discipline, which is beyond doubt delivering work the right way, the first time around.
Please do keep up your excellent work on contribution to a better industry.

Dear Steve, I have great respect as well as admiration for your work, always a reference to me of proper well engineering. Thanks a lot for this introduction and feedback. I can only say, that I do what I like, and I like well cementing a lot, but more importantly I like success in well cementing and just want to make that possible to as many organizations and people as I can.

Well done Lenin, good animation
Thanks Paiman
Thank you so much
No problem, Very glad to help and share what I know
It is an state of the art educative and best practical CTU cementing remedial work video which provide the step by step procedure easy to understand the main concepts and technical contents.
Thank you for sharing advance knowledge and for the effort put on this educative videos. Please continue sharing training videos that help to grasp and build knowledge in this sector.
Thank you Jose, this comment coming for a professional like you means a lot to me, but the video was only version one, I hope the next version help even more in transmitting the concepts of CT cementing.
Cheers
L. Diaz
Good job Lenin, it’s always better to have a video as support of good explanations. As a non-expert of field jobs, i really appreciate this.
Hi Thiebaut, that is the objective to help people visualize what is happening and why.
Cheers,
L. Diaz
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Jose
Good stuff!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Jose
Thank you Lenin for what you are doing sharing your knowledge and experience with the community and future generations. Very good content, well explained and the animations are just making it even better and self explanatory.
Thanks Mohamed, very happy you like it, but I hope the next version will be even better
L. Diaz
Thanks Mohamed, very happy you like it, but I hope the next version will be even better

I know you as a very professional colleague. I’m glad you are teaching the new blood for the oilfield.
Congratulations
Thanks a lot Adrián, the times might change and new generations appear but the well challenges remain. It is absolutely necessary to be able to improve knowledge and develop new better practices. This is only possible if previous knowledge and best practices are known and applied.
Cheers
L. Diaz
Lenin, I’m impressed with the animation, never seen one so clear on this matter that has always been unnecessarily “feared” due to lack of knowledge or experience. Great tool to explain how the ops develops. Well done!
That is very true, Roberto, you and me with all this time in the industry know this for sure, and that is why I developed this animation, despite being new to the process of making such a long and complex one. I will keep on working on this and others to make better training material.
Cheers
L. Diaz
I love a good visual to really drive the understanding home. Well done here, Lenin! I’m not a big proponent of hesitation squeezes for remedial cementing, but they do have their applications. Keep up the great work!
Thanks will, that is a great comment and feedback.
Saludos Lenin, Despues de observar bien el video solo me puedo decir que, esta bien logrado el objetivo ya que de una manera sencilla y simple se trasmite el mensaje que se quiere dar y es en la sencillez de las cosas que se logra la mejor compresiòn de los conocimientos y el dominio de las tecnicas.
Por otra parte todas las actividades y trabajos realizados estan sujetos a las mejoras constantes a travès del tiempo, bien sea debido a que surgen nuevas ideas, tecnicas, soñadores y apasionados por lograr llevar siempre un paso mas alla lo ya hecho.
Felicitaciones por ese un muy buen trabajo realizado
Muchas Gracias, Omar, bastante tiempo ha pasado desde que trabajamos juntos, y aunque los recuerdos son cada vez menos claros, lo que si estoy seguro es que fueron muy buenos tiempos para todos nosotros. Muy particularmente extraño ese ambiente de positivismo, éxito y sensación de mejora que tenia la industria, con aprecio por sus trabajadores y el desarrollo de mejores practicas. Es muy triste ver hoy en día gente que se formó en esa época, ahora en posiciones de liderazgo, tomando decisiones tan perjudiciales y de corto plazo. Parece que estamos en otro ciclo de la historia donde queremos probar que tan tontos podemos ser antes de ser mejores.
Un Abrazo
L. Diaz
Great job Lenin
Good job and well explained, keep up the good work
Lenin,
Great illustrative video, this shows for sure the basics of execution, but it is important to mention that the success of a CT cementing job is 90% preparation, make sure the slurry is good, keep low viscosity to achieve good pumping rates through the small CT ID, the other 10% is communication among the crews on location.
Thank you for this great initiative and the videos.
Kind regards
Totally agreed with you Renny. I particularly enjoy CT operations and as you said preparation is the key
L. Diaz
Good efforts Lenin. Keep it up.
Thanks
Really Great work Dear Lenin Diaz, well done indeed.
I’m impressed with the animation
Regards
Ibrahim Dao
Really appreciate your feedback Dr. Dao
