Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to well drilling operations and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for providing zonal isolation of subterranean formations.
- a casing string may be lowered and cemented therein.
- a desired amount of a cement slurry may be directed downhole through the casing string, out of the bottom of the casing string, and up through the annulus between the casing string and the well bore wall (or a casing if the well bore is cased), to cement the casing string in place.
- the casing may be cemented into the well bore by utilizing what is known as a "reverse-cementing" method.
- Reverse-cementing entails displacing a conventionally mixed cement slurry into the annulus between the casing string and the well bore wall (or a casing if the well bore is cased).
- drilling fluids ahead of the cement are displaced around the lower ends of the casing string and up through the casing string and out at the surface.
- the fluids ahead of the cement may also be displaced upwardly through a work string that has been run into the inner diameter of the casing string and sealed off at its lower end.
- a small amount of cement may be permitted into the casing and the work string.
- the work string may be pulled out of its seal receptacle and excess cement that has entered the work string can be reverse-circulated out of the lower end of the work string to the surface.
- tractor-trailers The equipment required for performing cementing operations is typically transported to the worksite using one or more tractor-trailers. Since the operation of tractor- trailers is highly regulated, the cementing operations are also controlled by corresponding regulations. Compliance with these regulations may lead to delay in operations and increased costs. For example, a regulation may limit the number of hours a driver may drive, preventing the driver from continuing operations if the driver used all the allowed hours in getting to the worksite and setting up. Because time is often critical in these operations, another worker must be present to do work that the driver could otherwise do, since a cementer may also have the ability to drive the tractor-trailer. Tractor-trailers are also limited by terrain and may not be able to get to or enter certain worksites without suitable roads first being built, which may be a costly endeavor.
- the equipment that is required at the rig location may include: one or two cementing trailers; multiple bulk trailers, depending on size of job; and possibly a batch mixing trailer.
- the cementing trailer may incorporate the cement mixer and high pressure pump for mixing the water and dry bulk material into a cement slurry and then may pump this slurry to the well.
- the bulk trailer is used to transport the dry bulk material to the rig location. This bulk trailer incorporates bulk tanks and an air compressor that will move the dry bulk material to a cementing trailer.
- Some jobs require a batch mixing trailer, used to provide a better uniform slurry. In current cementing applications, five to seven separate pieces of equipment may be required.
- the quality of the cement slurry is determined by the density of the slurry on the fly during the mixing operation.
- the mix-on-the-fly nature of the operation relies heavily on the quality of the operators, equipment, chemical design, and uniformity of blend during preparation and transporation to a well site to determine cement quality.

- multiple samples of the ELS may be obtained for quality control testing and batch lot retention.
- the methods used to obtain such samples are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will therefore not be discussed in detail herein.
- laboratory testing may be performed to certify performance of the ELS.
- possible tests include measuring compressive strength, static gel strength, transistion time, thickening time, viscosity, mechanical properties when set, and fluid loss of the ELS.
- additional additives may be added to the ELS in order to adjust or maintain desired chemical, rheological, shear, and fluid loss properties.
- the ELS may be recirculated and/or stirred during storage at the central location.
- recirculation may be accomplished by opening a valve on the bottom of the STS tank 220 and using a centrifugal pump 210, for example, to recirculate the ELS back to the top of the tank thus "rolling" the tank.
- the tanks may also have agitators to "stir" the ELS material in the tanks. The “rolling" and/or “stirring” of the tank may happen all the time or at such intervals, for example, once a day, in order to keep the ELS slurry in a stirable and pumpable condition.
- the ELS may be transported to the rig site using liquid storage trailers common to oilfield use and known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
- the liquid storage trailers can come in various shapes and sizes, for example, horizontal cylindrical trailers.
- the ELS may be transferred to a second STS 200 at the rig site, where the STS 200 at the rig site may be previously set up on site at the convenience of rig and service personnel.
- Liquid accelerator may be transported and transferred to an accelerator tank 230 on the STS 200 at the rig site. There may be more than one STS 200 on site, depending on the amount of ELS required for the particular well.
- the ELS may be tested or sampled by sensors (not shown) on the STS 200 at the rig site.
- the sensors may include temperature sensors, density measurement sensors, viscosity measuring devices, level sensors, and any other sensors to measure desired properties of the ELS.
- additional additives may be added to the ELS in order to adjust or maintain desired chemical, rheological, shear, and fluid loss properties.
- the ELS may continue to be recirculated or mixed in the STS 200 at the rig site.

- the ability to prehaul ELS to the rig site in advance of execution of the cement job reduces lag time between ordering a cement job and performing the cement job because transportation and setup can occur in anticipation of a cement job.
- the wide density application range of the ELS allows the same base ELS to be used to pump both lead and tail sections of surface and intermediate jobs by changing water, accelerant, and specific additive concentrations.
- the ELS may be prepared well in advance of a future cement job and may remain in a dry or liquid state for weeks if needed.
- This method allows the ELS and accelerant mixture to be prepared at any time leading up to a cement job, instead of requiring the driller to call the cement crew and equipment to location when they are needed and attempting to anticipate the exact time the wellbore will be ready for the cement job, which can result in several hours, or days, of wasted time that could be spend cementing another well.
- an accelerator such as calcium chloride
- This designed period of time is sufficient to allow the cement to be pumped into place in the well bore.
