Volume of open hole below the casing shoe is

not calculated.
Cement circulates out of the shoe and up the

annulus.
Any cement displacing the mud below by gravity

is considered negligible.

19 Single Stage Cementing

Note:
1 sack of cement

But the
Handbook states:

1.15 cuft/sack

WHY ?

22 Single Stage Cementing

Note
Yield varies with density
Basically, when you change the density you alter the

Water / Cement ratio

....this changes the yield

Normally ........
as you increase the water content the yield increases

Mix Water - Step D

If you know the number of sacks then you find

the gal/sk of mix water required and multiply

Mix Fluid = gal/sack x number of sacks

CONVERT TO BBLS
(Your displacement tanks are in bbls)

Mix Water Quality

In the laboratory, clean location water is used for

cement test. Test results are only obtainable in

the field when same water (= clean) is used.
Causes for contamination:

Dirty rig tanks

Left over chemicals/mud in lines and pumps
Dirty displacement tanks
