 STAGE CEMENTING
EQUIPMENT
TMOT stage-cementing systems provide cement integrity in wells that require
selective zonal isolation. Two-stage cementing techniques are the most common
of the multiple-stage cementing techniques, but a three-stage method can be
used. They are the tools of choice when drilling requirements call for proven
technology and low risk.
Multiple-stage cementing tools are recommended for the following circumstances:
Wells where the hydrostatic head of the cement is greater than the formation
pressure in some intervals but no other intervals
Heavier-weight cement would be required in the high-pressure formation sections
to maintain control of the well
When only certain portions of the wellbore require zonal isolation
In downhole conditions that require different slurry blends to address unique
challenges to each segment and achieve the intended zonal-isolation integrity

TYPE 750 SERIES STAGE COLLAR HYDRO-MECHANICAL

The type 750 Hydro-Mechanical Stage Collar is designed for maximum
operational flexibility. Able to operate both mechanically and hydraulically, type
750 can be installed in deviated or horizontal wells.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
The type 750 Stage Collar Hydro-
Mechanical has been designed for
stage cementing applications where the
operator wants flexibility over opening
the stage collar. The design features
two internal sleeves that shift during the
stage cementing operations.
The bottom sleeve can be shifted open
through the use of hydraulic pressure or
by dropping a trip opening device and
allowing it to gravitate to the opening
seat. The stage collar can be field set to
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
STEP 1: STEP 2H:
open hydraulically at different opening
pressures. This is chieved through the
addition or removal of the shear screws
from the stage cementing tool. The
changing of the opening pressure does
affect the force required to open the stage
collar mechanically if an opening dart is
subsequently used. Closing of the stage
cementing collar is affected through the
pumping of a closing plug behind second
stage cement and applying pressure
upon completing displacement.

 STEP 1:
Stage Collar in Running in and First
Stage Cementing Position. First Stage
Shut-Off Plug will pass through Stage
CementingCollar while displacing first
stage cement, landing on Baffle Plate
located in Float Collar.
STEP 2M:
Mechanical Opening - Opening Dart
landed in Stage Cementing Collar.
Opening Sleeve shifted to the open
position allowing second stage cement
to be displaced through ports.

STEP 2H: STEP 3:

Hydraulic Opening - Opening sleeve
shifted down after opening through
the application of pressure, allowing
second stage cement to be displaced
through ports.
Second Stage Cement Complete.
Second Stage Closing Displacement
Plug landed in Stage Cementing Collar.
The application of pressure will close
the Stage Collar Ports. Two-stage cement
job complete.

Note:Each stage collar is provided with a baffle plate, first stage flexible indicating
plug, opening trip dart and closing plug as standard equipment.

APPLICATIONS FOR CONTINUOUS PLUG SYSTEM

The cement must be brought up past a stage tool on the first stage to fill the entire
annulus with cement.
A hole deviated °25 or more off vertical at or above a stage tool.
Plug-opened stage tool is run with an integral packer above an open hole completion
above °25 deviation (The displacement opening plug can keep cement off the bottom of
the hole by opening the stage tool and setting the integral packer.)
Stage tool must be placed closer than 500 ft from the shutoff baffle, which could cause
excessively high opening pressure because of the need to compress the fluid in a closed
Free-Fall plug setup.
One advantage of the displacement method is that it can be continuous; once started,
uninterrupted pumping can continue until all stages have been completed.
Fluid volumes must be accurately calculated and carefully measured to help prevent
over displacement or under displacement of any of the stages, especially the first stage.
