I’m delighted to share that my collaborative paper, “A Deep Dive on Stage Cementing Operations in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case Study” (SPE-221578-MS), has been published during the SPE Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition in Lagos, Nigeria 🎉📚
In today’s drilling operations, cementing through weak sand and unconsolidated formations presents significant challenges, including well control issues, poor zonal isolation, and difficulties achieving the top of cement objectives. These challenges can impact well lifespan and increase drilling costs. Our paper explores these complexities and provides a comprehensive analysis of stage cementing as a key method for addressing these issues.
Key Insights from the Paper:
-Challenges in Cementing: Discusses issues such as annular gas migration, micro-annulus formation, and achieving the top of cement at desired depths.
-Stage Cementing: Analyzes how performing cementing in stages can improve zonal isolation and mitigate problems associated with loose sands and faults.
-Advanced Techniques: Examines the use of high-performance lightweight slurries and foam cementing to meet density requirements without compromising strength.
-Regional Focus: Highlights why stage cementing is less common in Sub-Saharan Africa due to unique lithological conditions and presents solutions tailored to this region.
-Economic Models: Provides a comparison of stage cementing costs versus other methods like lightweight slurry deployment.
This paper aims to shed light on the design challenges, planning considerations, and operational hurdles of stage cementing in challenging environments, offering case studies and economic analyses to demonstrate its cost-effectiveness and performance benefits.
I hope this research provides valuable insights and drives advancements in cementing solutions!
