This article gives an example of calculation for a typical balanced cement plug job.
Parameters to be Calculated
The following parameters shall be calculated for the setting of a balanced plug.
- 150 % of drillpipe/stinger contents.
- required slurry volume taking all excess requirements into account.
- tonnage of cement.
- mixwater requirements.
- spacer volumes.
- theoretical TOC in balance.
- TOC inside drillpipe when under-displaced by required amount between 250 - 500 ft.
- top of postflush inside drillpipe when . . .
