The main reason behind primary cementing is zonal isolation to prevent fluid to migrate into the annulus, protect and support the casing or liner from corrosive fluids and adjacent formations. This 4-day course was designed to address the issue of primary cementing in oil fields.

The main reason behind primary cementing is zonal isolation to prevent fluid to migrate into the annulus, protect and support the casing or liner from corrosive fluids and adjacent formations. This 4-day course was designed to address the issue of primary cementing in oil fields.
The main focus of this course is primary cementing in oil fields. In this sense, initially, this process is explained briefly. Next, calculations and interactions pertaining to the cementing are discussed. Afterward, the required equipment for this process is elaborated. Finally, some special issues such as plug-back cementing calculations are taught and trained.
