WELL CEMENTING SERVICES
Primary Cementing consists of placing cement in the annulus between the casing and the formation. The three main objectives in primary cementing are to support the casing, protect the casing, and most importantly to provide zonal isolation- preventing cross contamination of production (oil and gas) and water zones. Typically, two or more strings of casing will be run into the well and in the case of deeper wells with higher temperatures and pressures, up to five or more strings of casing may be run into the well.
Remedial Cementing is a services offered by NAPESCO that is often required during the life of a producing well. In this application cement is used to repair leaks or stop communication between different zones.
In addition to providing services for both primary and remedial cementing, NAPESCO also provides Abandonment Plugs, Kick off Plugs, Lost Circulation Systems, and cement systems which may be pumped through Coiled Tubing.
NAPESCO offers a modern fleet of Truck Mountain Cementing Units equipped with recirculating mixers (RCM) with automated density control (ADC) allowing for high energy mixed slurries with precise control of slurry properties. All cementing jobs are recorded with high resolution data acquisition systems (DAS) allowing for real-time recording of job data.
