Abstract:Deepwater drilling and cementing have been a challenge due to the low temperature at seabed, low fracture gradients, shallow water flow, gas hydrates, etc. Foamed cementing is one of the best practices that have been used for deep water wells. Dry foam stabilizers have been used but are limited to the number of jobs achievable with pre-blended cement on the rig. Introducing a liquid foam stabilizer improves logistics and flexibility, so one type of cement can be used for all cementing jobs, including primary a… Show more
