Remedials Cementing
This training has a principal objective demostrate that the most successful and economical approach to remedial cementing is to avoid it by thoroughly planning, designing, and executing all drilling, primary cementing, and completion operations. The need for remedial cementing to restore a well’s operation indicates that primary operational planning and execution were not effective. Failure to effectively perform any operation the first time is obviously undesirable since repair operations are always more costly and difficult success.
