What
is Cementing?
Cementing
is one of the most important operations performed on a well in order to ensure
complete zonal isolation, aquifer protection, and the structural integrity of
the wellbore. Without it, the well may never reach its full production
potential, and liquids from one zone could interfere with, or be lost to,
another. After drilling a well, steel pipe - called casing - is inserted into
the hole. Cement is then pumped down the pipe and circulated up the annulus to
create a strong barrier of protection between the well and rock formations.

25 years of experience in primary and remedial cementing services in the Middle
East, North Africa and East Asia
As
new technologies and techniques become routine, operators are demanding new
approaches to well cementing. Exploring high pressure, high temperature deep
gas potentials and having to comply with stringent environmental regulations
drives the need to continuously improve cementing systems and equipment design.
