Wells may be recompleted at different formations either above or below existing perforations by a process which may include pumping a slug of cement down through the tubing. A pressure drop signals when the cement has passed through the perforations. A measured amount of liquid may then be withdrawn from the well so that the formation will force the cement back out. FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing still another embodiment of the process.
