Course Description

This course covers the most recent trends and analyzes the changing dynamics of casing and cementing. It builds a solid foundation in the principles and practices of designing, planning and conducting successful casing and cement jobs. The course uses a process-based perspective that takes participants from initial casing depth and size selection, casing and liner design procedures, casing running practices, planning and executing primary cementing, through remedial cementing and plugging operations. 
 

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to build a solid foundation in the principles and practices of designing, planning and conducting successful casing and cement job.
 

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participant will be able to:

• Select casing sizes and setting depths to achieve well objectives 
• Determine casing loads for design purposes 
• Design casing properties to meet burst, collapse, and tensile strength requirements 
• Conduct casing running operations safely and successfully 
• Specify cement slurry properties and volumes to meet well objectives 
• Determine best procedures for attaining successful primary cementing 
• Conduct stage jobs, squeeze jobs and set cement plugs 

Who Can Benefit

• Personnel responsible for planning, overseeing, and conducting casing and cementing operations
• Operator and service personnel
