calculated.
 Cement circulates out of the shoe and up the annulus.

 Note:
1 sack of cement = 1 cuft
of 94 lbs But the
Handbook states:

4.97 gals of water = 0.66 cuft 1.15 cuft/sack

WHY ?
1 cuft + 0.66 cuft = 1.66 cuft

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

 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

 Additives - Step E
 Solid Additives
 Calculated as a % by weight of dry cement.
– Except: Salt
– Small amounts will not effect calculation
 Liquid Additives
 Calculated as gallons of additives per sack of bulk
cement
 Subtract total amount of liquid additives from amount of
mix fluid to have real amount of mix water.
