Manual Overview
This manual contains one chapter covering basic fu nctionality. The

remaining six chapters cover three workflows: Drilling, Running Liner,
and Cementing. Each workflow is covered in two chapters, one
containing the exercise or worktlow steps, and the other containing the
workflow solution. If the exercise steps for a workflow do not provide
enough infonnation to complete the step, please refer to the solution in
the subsequent chapter for that workflow.
An overview of each workflow is contained in the e xercise section

pertaining to the workflow.
Data
The data used in this exercise is not from an actual well. Although an
attempt has been made to use realistic data in the exercise, the intent
when creating the data set is to display as much software functionality
as possible. Therefore, some data may not be realistic. Please do not let
the accuracy of the data overshadow learning the functionality of
the software.

Basics
Overview
Exercise 1: Creating the Data Hierarchy

In this exercise, you will create a new company, project, site, well,
wellbore, design, and case.
Exercise 2: Specifying Tubular Properties and Working With Catalogs

In this exerc ise, you will create a new pipe grade and use it to create a
new pipe in an inventory you create. You will also review creating a unit
system and importing a catalog.
Exercise 3: Using the Case Menu and Libraries, and

Configuring the Workspace
This exercise builds on the previous two exercises. Us ing the data
hierarchy created in Exercise I, you will specify additional data that
defines the case you are analyzing. You will use both the information
you entered into the catalog in Exercise 2 and the catalog you imported.
This exercise will also familiarize you with using li braries to quickly use
predefined strings or fluids. You will also learn how to configure the
workspace (tabs) for easily accessing the data and results you need.

Drilling
Overview
Data
The data used in this exercise is not from an actu al well . Although an
the accuracy of the data overshadow learning software functionality.
Workflow
In this section, you will drill o ne hole section in a well. During this
analysis, you assume previous hole sections have been drilled, and will
focus only on the current section being drilled.
The following is a brief, general overview of the workflow and does not
include a description of all workflow steps.
Initial analysis evaluates the stresses acting on the string when the bit is
at TD. Adjustments to the drill pipe are made based on this analysis.
Next, the torque and drag is evaluated at depths o ther than TD.
After all string adjustments based on torque drag analysis are completed,
hydraulics analysis begins. First, hole cleaning is reviewed. Flow rate
adjustments are made to improve hole cleaning. Pressure losses,
incl uding system, string, and annulus are exami ned. Critical annu lar
velocities are determined. Pump horsepower requirements are
determined. ECDs are analyzed, and bit nozzle sizes are optimized. A
fi nal design check is performed to ensure hole cleaning, pressure losses,
and ECDs are acceptable.
After the hydraulics analysis is completed, tripping surge and swab

transient pressures are investigated.

恭贺新禧!
Chapter 2: Drilling
Well control analysis is the next step in the process. The kick type is
determined, as well as the expected influx volume. Using the estimated
influx volume, the kick tolerance is examined. A kill sheet is generated,
and the well control animation is used to display the pressures and other
parameters as the kick is circulated out of the wellbore.
After well control analysis is completed, critical vibrational speeds are

investigated, as well as the stresses, bending moments, and
displacements acting on the string.
Next, the BHA performance is investigated, including the response of

the BHA to various WOB and ROP combinations.
Finally, the forces required to set, trip, and reset a jar in the event the
pipe becomes stuck are determined.

Chapter 2: Drilling
Torque Drag Analysis (Using the Torque Drag

Analysis Module)
The Torque Drag Analysis module predicts the measured weights and
torques while tripping in, tripping out, rotating on bottom, rotating off
bottom, slide drilling, and backreaming. This information can be used to
determine if the well can be drilled or to evaluate conditions while
drilling a well. The module can be used for analyzing drillstrings, casing
strings, liners, tieback strings, tubing strings, and coiled tubing.
The Torque Drag Analysis module includes both soft string and stiff
string models. The soft string model is based on Dawson's cable model.
In this model, the work stri ng is treated as an extendible cable with zero
bending stiffness. Friction is assumed to act in the direction opposing
motion. The forces required to buckle the string are determined, and if
buckling occurs, the mode of buckling (sinusoidal, transitional, helical,
or lockup) is indicated. The stiff string model includes the increased side
forces from stiff tubulars in curved hole, as well as the reduced side
forces from pipe wall clearance.

Input and Review Well Configuration and Analysis Options

I. Using the Well Explorer, open the Case titled "Drilling."
2. Activate the Torque Drag Analysis module.
3. What is the mudline depth (MSL)?
4. Review the hole section information.
a. Why is the riser length 590 ft?
b. What friction factors are used?

恭贺新禧!
Chapter 2: Drilling
5. Review the string information.
Note
The length of the top row cornponenl is automatically adjusted.
a. What is the string depth?
b. Does the d1il l pipe weight include the tool joint weight?
c. What type of connections are used for the drill pipe, and what is
the make-up torque for the drill pipe connection?
6. Review the wellpath information.
a. What is the best azimuth to view the View > Wellpatb Plots >
Vertical Section plot?
b. How can you use this dialog box to set the Vertical Section plot
to use that azimuth?
7. Apply tortuosity to the open hole section. Use the Sine Wave
Tortuosity Model, 12,500 ft MD Top, a 500 ft Angle Change
Period, a 0.5 degree magnitude, and a 30 ft Depth Interval.
Note
In this example, only one MD Top is specified. Therefore, the same tortuos ity
will be applied co all data points below the specified MD Top.
a. When should you use tortuosity?
b. When using the Sine Wave model, why should angle and pitch
not be a multiple of each other?
c. Review the Inclination and Azimuth plots. What is causing

the "corkscrews?"
8. What fluid is used in the analysis?
Torque Drag Analysis uses viscosity and density for the analysis.
恭贺新禧!
Chapter 2: Drilling
9. S pecify the Torque Drag Analysis setup options. Check all the
boxes in the Mechanical Limitations section. T hi s information will
now be displayed on the applicable plots.
The Soft String model is more widely used than the Stiff String
model. For more information, re fer to the online help.
10. Review the additional analysis parameters.
a. From what source are the friction factors coming?

(Calibrated, Hole Section Ed itor, and so on)
b. What operations will be analyzed?
c. What is the WOB (or overpu ll) and the bit torque?
Analyze Results at TD
Using the Normal Analysi s mode, you will review the results when the
bit is at TD (total depth). Later, you wi ll use Drag Charts to review the
results when the bit is at other depths along the well path.
11. Review the Summary Loads table.
a. What problems exist?
b. Can you dete nnine where the problems occur?
c. What is the overpull margin with and without tortuosity applied?

Continue the exercise with tortuosity applied.
d. If you consider viscous drag effects of the fluid acting on the

drillstring, what is the overpull margin? What additional
problem have you introduced and in what mode of operation?
Do not consider viscous effects after thi s point.
e. Does buckling occur?
12. Review the Effective Tension plot.
a. Why not use the True Tension plot?
b. Which operation is close to exceedi ng the tension limit?
c. Is buckling predicted based on this pl ot?

Chapter 2: Drilling
13. Review the Torque Graph to determine the location in the string
when the torque limit is exceeded for each operation indicated in '
the Summary Loads table.
14. Review the Fatigue plot to determine where fatigue may be

a problem.
a. What is fatigue, and why is it important?
I Hint
Refco· to the ooHote help
b. What is one possible cause of the fatigue?
15. Review the load data to determine which limi ts are exceeded during
the Backreaming, Rotating On Bottom, and Rotating Off Bottom
operations. When backreaming, at what depth is the yield strength
and utilization factor exceeded?
16. What can you do to avoid the problems in the string? There are
several possible options. For this exercise, change the drill pipe.
a. One option would be to change the drill pipe to 5", 25.6#, S, FH,
Class l pipe.
b. Review the make-up torque and fatigue limits for this pipe.
I 7. Review the Normal Analysis Summary Loads table as another

means to confirm the problems are resolved. Is the overpull
over-designed?
18. How could you save some money on the string? Continue to use the
S grade pipe in the top 7,500 ft of drill pipe. Because the original
drillpipe (5", 19.5 lb/ft, G, NC50, P) was sufficient below that
depth, change to the original pipe below 7,500 ft. Review results
again using the Summary Loads table. (7,500 ft of S pipe is used
because the problems began about 7 ,000 ft. The additional 500 ft
allows for a margin of safety.)
There are other possible drill pipe configurations that would be

acceptable. Because of time constraints, additional analysis will not
be performed in the course setting at this time.

Chapter 2: Drilling
We have analyzed results when the bit is at TD (total depth). Now

we will use Drag Charts to review the results when the bit is at other
depths along the wellpath.

Analyze Surge/Swab Pressures and ECDs (Using

the Surge Module)
The Surge module is a transient pressure model to determine surge and

swab pressures throughout the wellbore caused by pipe movement. This
analysis is used for well planning operations when surge pressures need
to be controlled and to evaluate well problems related to pressure surges.
It is also useful for critical well designs when other surge pressure
calculation methods are not sufficiently accurate.
The Surge module is based on a fully dynamic analysis of fluid flow and
pipe motion. This analysis solves the full balance of mass and balance
of momentum for pipe flow and annulus flow.
Surge solutions consider the compressibi li ty of the flu ids, the elasticity
of the system, and the dynamic motions of pipes and fluids. Also
considered are surge pressures related to fluid column length below the
moving pipe, compressibility of the formation, and axial elasticity of the
moving string. In-hole fluid properties are adjusted to reflect the effects
of pressure and temperature.

47. Access the Surge module.

Determine Critical Rotational Speeds (Using Critical

Speed Module)
The Critical Speed Analysis module identifies critical rotary speeds and
areas of high stress concentration in the drillstring. The analysis uses an
engineering analysis technique called Forced Frequency Response
(FFR) to solve for resonant rotational speeds (RPMs). The Critical
Speed Analysis module is based on a nonlinear finite element sol ution
written to include intermittent contact/friction, finite displacement,
buoyancy, and other effects that occur while drilling.
The Critical Speed Analysis module is designed to analyze the 3D

lateral bending vibrational responses of a bottomhole assembly. The
analysis can model axial vibrations (vibrations parallel to the drillstring
axis), lateral vibrations (perpendicular to the drillstring axis), and
torsional (twist) vibrations. The module includes damping and mass
effects in order to more accurately represent the downhole environment.

Predict BHA Build and Drop (Using Bottom Hole

Assembly Module)
The Bottom Hole Assembly module analyzes a bottomhole assembly

(B HA) in a static "in-place" condition or in a "drillahead" mode. Many
different fac tors influence the behavior of a bottomhole assembly. These
fac tors include more controllable parameters such as WOB, and
drillstring component size and placement, as well as less controllable
items such as format ion type. Because the performance of a bottomhole
assembly is impacted by such a wide and varied range of parameters,
predicting the behavior of a bottomhole assembly can be very complex.
Engineers in other fields have often relied on the Finite Element

Analysis Method to solve complex problems. The Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) method solves a complex problem by breaking it into
smaller problems. Each of the s maller problems can then be solved
much easier. The individual solutions to the smaller problems can be
combined to solve the complex problem. Depending o n the number of
elements (smaller problems) that the complex structure (overall
problem) is comprised of, the solution can become very laborious.
Fortunately, the combination of the increasing speed of computing
power and creative mathe matics have significantly simplified
FEA analysis.
Because a bottomhole assembly is composed of many different

elements of varying dimensions, it lends itself quite well to the FEA
method. The following sections describe the major steps performed by
the Bottom Hole Assembly module while solv ing for an "in-place"
solution, as well as a "drillahead" prediction.

7. Use Case> Wellpath >Options, or click Options on the Wellpath

Editor to specify tortuosity.
1 1
/' Wellpath Options CT)r8J
a. Apply tortuosity to the open hole sections of planned wellpaths

to simulate the variations found in actual wellpaths. Applying
tortuosity allows for more realistic predictions of torque and
drag for planned wells. See the online help for more information.
CAUTION
Do not apply tortuosity to actual survey data.
b. When using the Sine Wave model, angle and pitch should not be
multiples of each other because the result will go to zero. Refer
to the online help for an example.
恭贺新禧!
c. Review the View > Wellpath Plots > Inclination and View >
Wellpath Plots > Azimuth plots. The "corkscrews" are caused
by applying tortuosity. Tortuosity creates "ripples" in the
planned wellpath .

a. The True Tension plot should only be used for stress analysis . If
you want to determine when the string will buckle or fail due to
tension, use the Effective Tension plot.
b. Notice that the tripping out operation is nearing the Tension

Limit at the surface, resulting in the very low overpull margin .
c. All operation curves fall to the right of the buckling curves,

therefore buckling is not predicted to occur.

divided by the fatigue endurance limit of the pipe. Fatigue
analysis is important because it is a primary cause of drilling
tubular fa ilure. A fatigue failure is caused by cyclic bending
stresses when the pipe is rotated in wellbores with high dog legs.

Because the top row of this spreadsheet is automatically calculated,

to specify 7 ,500 ft as the length of the upper section of drill pipe, you
must specify the section length in the bottom section of drill pipe as
11,568 ft (19,068 - 7,500 ft).

a. The Max Weight Yi eld line represents the minimum yie ld

strength of all com ponents currently in the well at that run de pth .
b. To determine the overpull at a specific run depth, subtract the

Tripping O ut hook load fro m the Max Weight Yield at the depth
in which you are interested. For example, the overpull when the
bit is at 2,000 ft is approximately 290 kips (442 - 154).

The conventional definition of surge operations is operations that

have increases in pressure only. Transient models can predict both
surge and swab pressures while running in the wellbore. Transient
models have been validated using downhole tools. Refer to the
online help for a list of technical references. The WELLPLAN
Hydraulics module has a steady-state (not transient) surge/
swab analysis.

is a term for describing how the string is divided into elements
and nodes prior to performing the finite element analysis.
b. The BHA will be divided into elements based on the input values
for Aspect Ratio I and Length I. Refer to the online help for
more informatio n.
c . Aspect Ratio l is the smallest ratio because it is used to mesh the

BHA zone (500 ft in this example). Jt is preferable to mesh the
BHA into smaller elements.
d. Length 2 is used to mesh the section of the string between the

BHA and the drill pipe. The remaining pipe will be meshed
using Aspect Ratio 3.

Running Liner
Overview
Data
attempt has been made to use realistic d ata in the exercise, the intent
when creating the data et is to displ ay software functio nality.
Therefore, some data may not be realistic . Please do not let the accuracy
o f the data divert attention from acquiring knowledge of
software functionality.
Workflow
In this section, you will analyze running a liner in the wellbore section
drilled in the last workfl ow.
Determining centrali zer pl acement is the first step in the workflow. Both
ri gid and bow centralizers are used in the analysis . Comparison of the
hookloads with and without centralizers is pe1formed. Initially, a high-
level torque drag analys is is performed.
A more in-depth torque drag analysis while tripping and rotating on

bottom is performed. Actual load data is used to val idate the selection of
cased and open hole friction factors.
The S urge module is used to analyze the transient pressure (EMW)

responses while running and reciprocating the liner. Mud temperature
effects are examined. Conventional and autofill fl oat options are
investigated. A tripping schedule is generated to determine maximum
trip speeds possible without exceeding the fracture gradient.
The fi nal step in the worktlow involves conditioning the well prior
to cementing.
恭贺新禧!
Chapter 4: Running Liner
Workflow Solution
Running Liner Solution chapter.
What Is Covered
During this workflow you will:
• consider effects of both conventional and autofi II fioat shoes.

• analyze surge and swab transient pressures at several depths.
• review the effect of centralizers on ECO.
• review the effect of tool joints on ECO.
• analyze reciprocating the liner.
恭贺新禧!
Input and Review Well Configuration and

Analysis Options
I. Using the Well Explorer, open the Case titled "Running Liner. "
2. Review the casing string. What is the liner overlap?
3. Ensure the mud weight is 13.8 ppg.

TM
Because of the integration between the W ELLPLAN software
modules, the wellbore data from the Drilling case is available to the
Running Liner case.

• Assume the cement design requires 70% standoff in centralized

interval, and 40% above the centralized interval.
• The maximum distance between the central izers is 160 ft, and
the minimum distance is 20 ft.
• The calculated step size is 500 ft.
• The trip speed is 60 ft/min, at 0 rpm.
CAUTION
In order to update results in the Quick Look section, you must click Copy to
Standoff Devices on the Parameter > Centralizer Placement view.
Therefore, if you change any data, click this button to update the results . If not,
the results calculated using standoff devices may not be accurate.

c. What is the maximum hookload and where does it occur?
8. How many bow centralizers are required?
9. View a graphical representation of the hookload with and without

centralizers using the Torque Drag Analysis plot. Why is there less
hookload with centralizers?
10. Freeze the curve representing the Hookload with Bow

Centralizer.In a future step, you will compare the Hookload with
Bow Centralizers to the Hookload with a Rigid Centralizer.
Using Rigid Centralizers

11. Replace the bow centralizer with the rigid centralizer from the
Training Centralizer catalog.
Hint
Use a tab other than the tab displaying the Torque Drag Analysis plot.
Note
If you use the same tab to display another plot or view (for example, the
Parameter> Centralizer Placement view) that you use to display the Torque
Drag Analysis plot, any frozen lines will be lost.
12. Use the same analysis parameters that you did for the bow
centralizer. What is the maximum hookload and where does
it occur?
13. Review the Torque Drag Analysis plot using the rigid centralizers.
How does it compare to the torque drag using bow centralizers?
14. How many rigid centralizers are required? Use the same tab you
used to view the Torque Drag plot.

In-depth Torque Drag Analysis (Using Torque

Drag Module)
Using OptiCemTM, you performed a high-level torque drag analysis.

Now you can use the Torque Drag Analysis module for more in-depth
analyses of additio nal operating modes.
15. Activate the Torque Drag Analysis module.
16. Access the Drag Charts analysis mode.
17. Input the following analysis parameters.
• Analyze every 500 ft between 0 and 20,000 ft.
• Analyze tripping in and out at 60 ft/m in. There is no rotation.
• Analyze rotating off bottom in addition to the two tripping

operations.
18. Review the hook loads for each operation with and without
centralizers. Are the loads within the yield limi t and rig capacity,
with and without centralizers, when tripping out?
Hints
Use the Freeze line.

Use the Standoff Devices dialog box to indicate when you want the
centralizers used in the plot results.
Note
If View> Auto Calculation is checked any time there is an OptiCem view or

a plot open in a tab, the calculations will be performed. This is typically not
desired when using another WELLPLAN module. Therefore, if you have an
OptiCem view active in a tab, you may want to consider replacing it with the
plot required for this step.
19. Include centralizers in the analysis again before proceeding.

b. Click Help to access the on line help to determine the difference

between conventional and autofill options. The following is an
excerpt from the online help.
Fl oat Option Area
Use this section of the dialog to indicate what t ype of flow the float has
(flow out only . or flow in and out) , the float inside diameter or total flow
area. and the percent age of the float area that is open t o flow.
Conventional {Flow Out) or Autofill (Flow In and Flow Out)
Check one of these option s to allow either the backflow of cement into or
out of the casing.
o Conv entional (Flow Out} should be used if flow out of the workstring
is possible, but flow in is not. For example, when running casing with
a conventional float collar or float shoe.
o Auto Flow In and Flow Out should be used if flow in and flow out are
both possible (for example. when running an Auto-fill type casing
shoe). This t ype of shoe allows casing to be filled during running a
joint of casing (to reduce surge pressure). After running that joint of
casing. fluid inertia effects may result in flow out of the casing, hence
flow in and flow out are both possible.
c. Select the radio button associated with the conventional option.

TM
d. The WELLPLAN software Surge module uses the float
option. This is indicated on the String Casing Shoe Data
dialog box.

d. The deepest pipe depth is not at TD because a surge analysis

cannot be performed if the bottom pipe depth is within a stand
length of TD. If so, a message will be displayed in the Status
Message section at the bottom of the application window, and
calculations will not be performed.
31. The formation is fracturing at some depths of interest using one

ormore moving pipe depths. Notice on the following plots the depth
of interest is indicated in the plot title bar. Each curve on the plot
represents the pressures or EMWs over time at that particular depth
as bottom of the liner is at a specific moving pipe depth. Use the
legend to determine which moving pipe depth corresponds to each
curve. If a curve crosses over the red line at the top of the plot, the
pressures or EMWs are fracturing the formation. Conversely, if a
curve crosses over the green line at the bottom of the plot, the
pressures or EMWs fall below the pore pressure and a kick may
occur.
a. Use View> Operation Plot> Transient Response Plot) to

review the transient pressures/EMWs at all moving pipe depths
as a function of time. Right-click in the plot to access a menu that
can be used to select a plot at a different depth. You can choose
to display the data as EMW vs. Time rather than Pressure vs.
Time.

Click the Rescale icon on the tool bar to enlarge the portion of the plot
containing the curve data. Notice the tool joint pressure losses increase
the ECD as depth increases because the tool joi nts reduce the annular
volume. A too] joint may also result in reduced internal pip volume if
the tool joint ID is less than the pipe ID.

Chapter ID
Cementing the Liner
Overview
Data
the accuracy of the data overshadow learning the software functionality.
Workflow
In this section, you will cement the 9 5/8" liner you analyzed in the
previous workflow.
The workflow begins with a review of the centralizer placement

determined in the previous workflow. The bottomhole circulating
temperature is estimated.
Entering of cement job data is performed using fluids provided.
Result analysis includes analyzing: circulating pressures, downhole

pressures, density and hydrostatic profiles, comparing rates in and out,
wellhead and surface pressures, and estimated hookloads.
Hole cleaning (erodibility) is investigated, including the effect of

remaining mud on fluid tops.
The animation is used to determine flu id tops, volumes, and other

cementing parameters.

• Integration between WELLPLANT~ software modules
• Defining cement slurries and spacers
• Different placement methods
• Defining a cement job, including:
- Sequence and rates fluids to be pumped

- Plugs
- Shoe tracks
- Automatic Rate Adjustments and Safety Factors
- Job stages
- Cement material requirements (sacks)
- Displacement volumes
• Surface iron works

• Estimating bottomhole circulating temperatures
• Determining pipe and annular volumes
• Specifying a gauge or washed-out hole
• Using many of the available plols (as a funclion of time, volumes,
and strokes) to analyze:
- Circulating pressures
- Downhole pressures
- Density and hydrostatic pressure profiles
- When "free fall" is occurring
- Wellhead and surface pressures
- Hookloads during the job
• Fluid Animation when reviewing many job parameters

• Hole cleaning during the cement job

Open the Case
1. Open the case titled "Cement Liner." You will be cementing the
9 5/8" liner you analyzed in the previous exercise.
Note
If you have a Halliburton® OptiCem '"' OTC file , you can import this data
directly into an open WELLPLAN case using File> Import. You can create
a case using File > New > Instant Case.
2. Activate the OptiCem module and the Wellbore Simulator

analysis mode.
3. Keeping in mind the data integration provided by the WELLPLAN

software, what data type of wellbore data do you think you will
need to input to analyze a cementing case that you did not input in
the Running Liner case?
恭贺新禧!
Input and Review Wellbore Data
Review Hole Section, String, and Wei/path Data

4. Review the hole section data. Is the hole washed out?
Note
Caliper log data can be directly imported into the H ole Section Editor using
File > Import Caliper.
5. What is the total annular volume and the annular volume in the

Centralizer Placement
You can use multiple types of centralizers. You can create a "pattern" of
centralizers. For example, you can alternate between two types of
centralizers, or use two of one type of centralizer followed by another
type. There are several patterns available for use.
15. Review the centralizer placement. Notice these are the same
centralizers used in the previous Running Liner case.
Specify Depths of Interest

16. Specify the depths of interest based on your answers to Steps 11
and 12. Why use these depths?
恭贺新禧!
Estimate Bottomhole Circulating Temperature
It is strongly recommended that the circulating temperature profiles be

run using a temperature simulator as in WELLCAT software (HCT file)
or data obtained from a cementing service company. (Click Edit Profile
to input or import a temperature profile.) If this data is not available, a
quick temperature analysis can be run using the WELLPLAN
Hydraulics module. For this exercise, you do not have an HCT file, or
other data, so you will use the Hydraulics modu le for a quick estimate
of the bottomhole circulating temperature.
17. Activate the Hydraulics module and the Pressure: Pump Rate
Fixed analysis mode.
18. Specify a flowrate of 400 GPM. (This is the same flow rate used to
condition the hole in the Running Liner case.) Include the effects of
mud temperature in the analysis. Circulate for nine hours. This
allows for approximately two circulations.
19. What are the circulating annular bottomhole and surface

temperatures?

恭贺新禧!
Input Cement Job Data
20. Activate the OptiCem module by clicking the OptiCem toolbar

icon ( El J ). Select Wellbore Simulator from the Mode pull-
down list.
2 1. Input the BHCT, surface temperature, and mud outlet temperature.
22. Specify the following cement job data using the Parameter >Job
Data dialog box. Notice that all fl uids are pumped at I0 bbl/min
except for the tail slun-y.
Note
Plugs indicate the start of the displacement, as well as act as a normal plug. In
OptiCem, Top Plug with the New Stage check box checked indicates the start
of displacement. In this exercise, the second stage of the tail cement is an
optional step to speci fy the time to drop the plug.
• As the wellbore fluid, use 13.8 ppg OBM. Specify a rate of

lO bbl/min. (Because this fluid is designated as the active fluid
on the Case > Fluid Editor, it will display in the top row of the
Job Data dialog box by default.)
• Use 50 bbls of the 14 ppg Spacer as a spacer. Pump the space r at

10 bbl/min. (Select Spacer/Flush in the Type pull-down list.)
The Placement Method is Volume.
• Pump the 14.5 ppg Lead cement at a rate of 10 bbl/min. The

Placement Method is Top of Fluid. Specify the top of the lead
cement at 12,250 ft (at the Liner Hanger). (Select Cement in the
Type pull-down list.)
• Pump 2,000 ft of the 16.4 ppg Tail slurry at a rate of 7 bbl/min.

(Select Cement in the Type pull-down list.) The Placement
Method is Length.
• Drop a plug. To do this, add a second row of 16.4 ppg Tail slurry.
Uncheck the New Stage check box so that this entry becomes the
4-2 stage of the tail slurry. Specify a shutdown time of five
minutes to drop the plug.
恭贺新禧!
• Indicate the start of the displacement by se lecting Top Plug as

the Type for the row between the tail cement and the
d isplacement fluid. C heck the New Stage check box.
• Pump 10 bbls of 14.0 ppg Spacer at 10 bpm, on top of the plug

as a post flu sh, as an extra measure to prevent slurry
contamination by di splacement mud.
• Select Mud in the Type pull-down list. Displace the cement with
the 13.8 ppg OBM mud pumped at 10 bbl/min.
• Because the annulus is open to the atmosphere, use 14.7 psi for
the Back Pressure and 0 bbl Return Volume .
• Use 80 ft of shoe track.
• Select the Top Plug option and enter 350 psi for bumping
the plug.
• Do not auto matically adjust the rates.
• Do not use foam cement.
• Do not use Inner String.
• Enable auto-displacement calculations. (Leave the check

box unchecked.)
a. How much shoe track volume is predicted?
b. How many sacks of lead and tail cement are needed for this job?
c. If the shoe track was 160 ft, how many extra tail slurry sacks
would be required? It is important to set it back to 80 ft
after checking.
23. What is the displacement volume?
24. What is the pipe volume, and why does the displacement volume in
the previous step not equal the pipe volume?

Review Hole Cleaning

Erodibility data should be obtained from field studies, the mud
company, or lab tests.
If you do not have centralizers in the analysis, and you enable the
Eccentricity option, the pipe is assumed to be on the low side of
the wellbore.
33. Enable Erodibility and Eccentricity analysis. Specify a required

shear stress (l bf/100 ft2) of 20 for this exercise. Analyze between a
top and bottom measured depth of 18,000 ft and 20,000 ft,
corresponding to the tail slurry placement.

a. Use this plot for a quick overall picture to determine if you will
have well control or ECD issues at any depth in the open hole.
b. No, because the maximum ECD and minimum hydrostatic

gradient curves lie between the pore pressure and fracture
gradient curves.
c. The hydrostatic gradient curve represents the minimum gradient

at any given time that could be present in the annulus.
d. This curve represents the maximum ECDs that can be

anticipated at various depths.

Volume (bbl)
a. This plot displays the total annular return rate and corresponding
pump rates versus the fluid pumped into the well (a comparison
of the volume of material pumped in with the volume coming out
of the well). The difference between the two rate curves
indicates free fall. If free fall occurs and the well goes on
vacuum, the rate out will initially exceed and then fall below the
planned pumped rate.
b. There is slight free-fall at the start of displacement during

the job.
c. The free-fall does not appear to be severe enough. The predicted

rates (in and out) are about the same for most of the job.
d. This is for foam jobs when both liquid and gas phases are
present. However, it is not applicable in this design.

c. Ideally, I 00% mud removal is desirable for the entire cemented

section. In this exercise, only a good tail placement was required
and the tail section is I 00% clean. In the centralized interval
containing the lead slurry, there is a small (less than 3%) mud
cake.
If the design required the entire cemented section to be cleaned,

the following changes could be made to the design:
- A mud with a higher erodibil ity number could be used.

- Centralizer placement could be improved over a
longer interval.
Specially formulated spacers (for example, tuned spacers)
that achieve higher mud removal could be used.
Non-conventional cementing techniques (for example,
foamed cement) cou ld be used.
d. Fluid tops and ECDs may be affected by remaining mud cake.

the increase in ECDs. The increase in ECDs is most likely to cause
a problem at TD.

If the annular volume is significantly filled with non-mobile mud, it will

increase the velocity and frictional pressure losses elevating the ECDs.
Also, this can cause fluid tops to be higher than anticipated. It is a good
practice to review all parameters if mud displacement efficiency is
not 100%.
