Typically, a balanced cement plug needs 1 bag of cement for every 9 cubic feet of water. Mix the cement and water together with a mixing paddle or drill and mixing paddle. Pour the cement-water mix into the plug form. Fill the form until it is level with the top, making sure to tamp down the mix as it is poured in.
Generally, several cement plugs with certain lengths must be placed in the wellbore for P&A. Plug position requires a combination of geological factors, wellbore structure, and integrity (Kuip et al., 2011; Achang et al., 2020).As shown in Fig. 1 a, a cement plug can be placed directly in the casing to cover the wellbore cross-section …
CT could accommodate smaller plugs. CT is the slimmest assembly that one could find; the disturbance created by the CT while POOH inside the cement plug is negligible. However, POOH speed matching pump rates during the spotting techniques must be observed. Spotting allows plugs longer than 500 ft to be placed at one run.
A cement plug is a rubber plug that is used to separate cement slurry from mixing with other fluids. This reduces contamination and maintains the consistency of the slurry. Proper placing of cement plug minimizes material wastage and wasted rig time. Cement plugs are of two types: the bottom cementing plug and the top cementing plug.
Conclusion. Cementing head is a manifold system that is installed on the top of the casing which allows the cement slurry to be pumped from the cement unit down any of the types of casing string. The cement head is also used for releasing the top and bottom cement plugs. Figure 1 Cement Head. A "cement head" is screwed into the top casing ...

During a complex multi-diameter hole, casing, rat hole, milled section and open hole with xs, cement plug job I came up with an idea to double-check the relatively complex calculations using a far simpler method. The sg of the steels we use is approximately 64.4 lb/gal (7.85 s.g.). If we know the combined weight of pipe inc. stinger for the ...
One mill dressed with the advanced Glyphaloy milling technology was able to mill through a total of 79 composite plugs in the two wells. Milling this record number of frac plugs in two wells in one trip per well meant time savings that translated to significantly reduced cost for the operator. Previously, the maximum number of plugs milled with ...

1. n. [Drilling] A rubber plug used to separate the cement slurry from other fluids, reducing contamination and maintaining predictable slurry performance. Two types of cementing plug are typically used on a cementing operation. The bottom plug is launched ahead of the cement slurry to minimize contamination by fluids inside the casing prior to cementing.
Unstable cement plug base. Place a hard base, like a bridge plug. Cement density > pre-flush / spacer density > control fluid. Viscous pill as a base (require proper design) For low density brines, the pre-flush can be water. Assuming the slurry is designed correctly using the right reference temperature, overall, the main issue is contamination.
Then, a cement plug is placed. Section milling is a time consuming operation and difficult to execute safely and efficiently. The current rate of milling operations for 7-in. casing is typically around 7–9 (ft/h), with additional time taken for tripping, hole cleaning and cleaning of BOP cleaning.
Position the drill bit at the center of the wiper plug and apply gentle pressure while drilling. Start with a slow drilling speed to ensure accuracy. As the drill bit penetrates the plug, increase the drilling speed gradually. Apply consistent pressure and take breaks when needed to prevent overheating of the drill bit.
Where the alkali occurs in the cement can affect this, but to get a first approximation, we need to track the equivalent alkali content. If a change is noted in the mill certificate, air-entraining agent dosages may need adjustment. Above 0.60%, alkali changes of 0.1% can be significant.

Generally, Top plug and bottom plug are matched to use. Before cementing, put into bottom plug firstly, scrape and clean the wall of hole by pump. After pump plug, increase the pressure to 2~4 MPa,hold and broken the rubber film, circulation is established. And then,start to inject the cement, put into top plug, pumping, increase the pressure ...

In this case, a cast iron bridge plug (CIBP) was set with a wireline five feet above a casing collar to avoid milling the casing collar while drilling off the whipstock.; A mule shoe sub (Drilling Subs) is placed above the whipstock, and the assembly is run as shown to approximately 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 m) above the CIBP.The face of the …
For comparison, cement plug samples were also prepared under the same conditions; the only prevailing difference was the plug length where that of cement was longer than that of bismuth. Both bismuth and cement samples were subjected to extensive physical, hydraulic, and mechanical push-out tests after curing. ... Also a system designed to mill ...

The milling casing starts about 20 ft above the projected sidetrack depth. About 60-80 ft of the casing are milled and removed. A sidetracking cement plug is set as previously described. The bottom of the plug is placed at least 50-100 ft below the bottom of the milled casing section.
Inflatable cement retainer Combining a flapper-valve assembly (Fig. 2A) with a permanent inflatable bridge (Fig. 2B) creates a cement retainer. Cement retainers are usually used to squeeze off unwanted production or gas channels between the open hole and casing. The bottom bull plug is removed and replaced with a shear-out ball seat.

Next, after running the mill to tag top of the cement plug, the actual TOC was located at 6032 ft / 1838.4 m, which was about 14 ft (~ 4.5 m) lower than the expected theoretical depth. This indicates that probably due to severe lost circulation, a further few feet of the cement slurry (equivalent to 0.5 bbl ) had penetrated into the loss zone.

cement plug placement will be run after deploying an IPP either as a hydraulic-set openhole plugback to set the cement plug on top of the packer, or as a hydraulic-set cased-hole packer used as a temporary or permanent inflatable bridge plug/ cement retainer. Additional plugs could be set conventionally down the work string if required.
Job Design. In deviated wells (deviation > 30 °, a solid base should be provided for the cement plug (bridge plug or a highly viscous and pumpable pill). In potential loss zones, it is better to set abandonment cement plugs in two stages. The bottom cement plug should be have a relatively short thickening time to support the other abandonment ...

However, if the cement is of poor quality, then the cement and casing must be removed by section milling before a cement plug is placed in the milled wellbore, as shown in the left part of Fig. 5. If the annulus is uncemented or poorly cemented, then the annulus can be cemented by the perforate-wash-cement method, which results in a …
Slurry contamination due: Inadequate base to set the plug. Poor viscous pill design or no use of pills to support plugs placed off bottom. The density of the cement will force it to go downhole as shown in the picture below. Make sure you design a pill capable of supporting the slurry on top of it. Slurry contaminated during placement.
