Environment and Risks Specifics § Environment
– Extremely high cost operations– Low temperature and inverse temperature profile across the sea– Geology
– Shallow unconsolidated formations– Massive salt, tar sand, gas hydrates– Narrow margin between pore and frac pressures
– Complex well design– Remote location– Environmental regulations§ Possible risks
– Shallow hazards: water or gas flow– Lost circulation– Annular pressure buildup

Gas Hydrates
§ What are they?- Solid ice-like compounds of natural gas and
water, formed in high-pressure and low temperature conditions§ Consequences- Well control problems- Block the BOP, the choke and kill lines and
the annulus- Deterioration of mud properties- Plugs production tubing
One unit of hydrate can transform into 170 units of gas
Prevention of Hydrates§ While drilling- Proper drilling mud selection
(w/ glycol or salt)- Well Control- Control Temperature Increase§ While Cementing- Systems w/ lower heat of hydration

SLB Standards, Requirements and Guidelines
§ Well Integrity Standards– Schlumberger Corporate– Well Services§ Cementing Key Service Quality Requirements
– Perform free fluid, fluid loss, rheology, compatibility, thickening time and UCA tests on ALL cement slurries being pumped using additives and cement that are to be used on the job and using representative sample/s of water.
– For HPHT condition, run sedimentation test at bottom hole conditions.– For foam cement, run stability test.– And more …§ Cementing Engineering Manual
– Section 5-11: Deepwater Engineering Guidelines

Job Design§ Planning, planning and planning in particular for remote locations§ Simulation of various processes
– Primary cementing– Hydraulics for incompressible, compressible and foamed fluids– Temperature– Fluid displacement– Gas migration– Stresses in the cement sheath
– Plug cementing§ Special cases
– Dual density gradient, managed pressure drilling– Casing drilling– Dual casings– Expandable liners

Fluid Design§ Based on
– Environment and risks described before– Job simulations§ Example of required performance for cement slurries at low temperatures
and sometimes at low densities– Short WOC time– Fast strength development– Short transition time: less than 45 min.– Gas migration control– Low heat of hydration§ Other specific conditions
– High pressure and low temperature: can be challenging too

Laboratory Measurements§ Quality control of cement blends
– Density: helium pycnometer§ Spacers and cement slurries
– Density: pressurized mud balance– Stability: free fluid and sedimentation tubes– Rheology: standard rotational viscometers and HPHT viscometer– Wettability (spacers): wettability tester– Fluid loss: standard static and stirred fluid loss cells– Gel strength development: static gel strength analyzer (SGSA)– Conditioning and thickening time: atmospheric and pressurized consistometers– Compressive strength development: ultrasonic strength analyzer (UCA)§ Auxiliary equipment
– Chiller for low temperatures encountered while cementing the shallowest strings
