The design and testing of slurry are integral aspects of every cementing job. This process is both time-consuming and costly due to the variability of conditions across different wells. Traditionally, cementing engineers and lab technicians relied on paper forms to record test results. With the introduction of Microsoft Excel®, people began to take advantage of electronic filing. This significantly improved reporting quality; however, what was missing with this approach was the management of numerous reports and search functions.

Without an efficient lab database, challenges such as difficulty in designing cement slurries, waste of resources in having to repeat similar tests, managing large amounts of slurry data, lack of evidence when problems arise, and non-standard practices across labs within a company.

To streamline cement lab operations, Pegasus Vertex, Inc. developed CEMLab, an integrated database management application. CEMLab formulates slurry, calculates lab amounts for all ingredients (cement, dry and liquid additives, salts, and water), stores API test results, and generates weight-up sheets and lab reports.

This software provides quick access to slurry formulations and testing statuses anywhere, anytime. Its advanced search function enables users to swiftly locate formulas and tests.

Q1. How to change the slurry volume for CEMLab calculation?
The slurry volume can be customized for each slurry.
You can open the Setup window by click on the Setup button on the top of any slurry page, and change the slurry volume, say 600 mL. Then please click on the “Save as default” button at the left bottom corner to let CEMLab remember your settings. After that once you create a new slurry, its volume will be 600 mL.
