  • liner cementing is conducted by introducing a body of cement through an operating string and displacing the cement into the annular space between the liner and the well bore, generally to a point inside a surrounding casing to which the upper end of the liner is usually anchored.
  • a single wiper plug is ordinarily introduced into the liner string immediately back of the body of the cement in order to separate the latter from the displacing fluid and to wipe the cement from the liner surface as the body of the cement is pushed out of the liner.
  • the liner string will also include an expansible packer which will usually be set to seal off the annulus between the liner and the surrounding well casing as soon as the cement is in place.
  • an expansible packer which will usually be set to seal off the annulus between the liner and the surrounding well casing as soon as the cement is in place.

  • the apparatus includes a releasable connection which enables the packer to be withdrawn from the well when cementing operations have been completed.
  • the packer assembly includes valve means operable upon expansion or setting of the packer to open circulation passage between the well annulus and the operating string above the packer to permit washing out of any excess cement above the packer.
