Well Cementing in HPHT
(High-Pressure & High-Temperature)

The increasing need for drilling High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) wells necessitates enhanced technology to surmount the challenges posed by HPHT conditions. The integrity of the cementation represents one of the most crucial and essential components in HPHT wells.

This PetroKnowledge training course offers comprehensive insights into the critical aspects of cementing in HPHT wells. Participants will be equipped with in-depth knowledge and practical skills essential for navigating the complexities associated with cementing processes in challenging HPHT conditions. The training course delves into the fundamentals of well construction. Moreover, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the specific challenges posed by HPHT wells, including the effects of temperature and pressure, gas migration, low annular clearance, and degradation of set cement sheath. This provides practical remedies and solutions to address these challenges effectively. A significant focus is placed on cement slurry design for HPHT wells, exploring the challenges associated with slurry design, various cement types, additives, and the stability of cement systems. Also, this incorporates real-life case studies, promoting a thorough understanding of potential issues and effective solutions in the field.
