Cementing Joint Industry Project: Understanding and Optimizing Displacement Efficiency in Today's Cementing Operations

Apr. 17, 2019 | 11:30AM - 1:30PM | PVI Conference Room, Houston, TX

Description:

Cementing operations involve many variables and are critical to the successful construction of a well, but they can also be challenging to simulate and predict. Software is used to predict the efficiency of mud displacement, but is limited by a lack of sufficient research tied to the predictive calculations.

During this lunch and learn, we will present on our proposed joint industry project’s (JIP’s) scope and deliverables:

• Lab Testing
• Development of Computational Fluid Dynamics Calculations for Mud Displacement
• Software Numerical Simulation Study
• Literature Review
• JIP Forums

• The importance of accurate, lab and field verified mud displacement calculations in today’s wellbores
• Variables that are important to mud displacement and how they affect horizontal wellbores vs. inclined and vertical wellbores
• The 350 lab tests varying inclination, standoff, and other variables
• The numerical study running 1,000 different scenarios for trend analysis
