• 6. Duration of Operation
Cement Slurry Requirements
• Slurry Volume between the Casing and the Hole
• Annulus between 9 5/8” casing and 12 ¼” openhole
Hole capacity = 0.3133ft^3/ft
Annular capacity = 13800 – 10800 = 3000ft
Annular volume = 3000 x 0.3133 = 939.6ft^3
Plus 20% excess = 1.2 x 939.6 = 1127.5ft^3
• Slurry Volume Below The Float Collar:
Volumetric capacity of 9 5/8” casing = 0.4110 ft^3 /ft
Shoetrack Volume = 60 x 0.4110 = 25ft^3

Slurry Volume in the rathole


Volumetric capacity of 12 1/4” openhole = 0.8185ft^3/ft
Rathole Volume = 13810 – 13800 = 10ft
= 10 x 0.8185 = 8.2ft^3
Plus 20% excess = 1.2 x 8.2 = 9.8ft^3

Total Cement Slurry Volume = 1127.5 + 25 + 9.8 = 1163ft^3


Amount of Cement & Mixwater

Number of sacks = 1163/1.14 = 1020 sacks


Mixwater requirements = 1020 x 4.96 = 5059 gallons = 120bbls
Amount of Additives

• Retarder D13R (0.2% by weight)


=

• Friction Reducer D65 (1% by weight)


=
Displacement Volume

• Displacement Volume = Volume between the cement head and the float collar
= Volumetric capacity of the 9 5/8” casing x depth to top of float collar
= 0.4110 x 13740 = 5647 ft^3 (/5.6) = 1006 bbls
Add additional 2bbls for surface line = 1006 + 2 = 1008bbls.

Number of strokes = 1008/0.138 = 7300 strokes.

• Volume = 500 x 1.0194= 509.7ft^3
• Volume = 700 x 0.6946 = 486.22ft^3
• Plus 20% excess = 583.2ft^3
Stage 2 Total slurry volume = 509.7ft^3
• Slurry Volume Below The Float Collar: .
• Shoetrack Volume = 60 x 0.8314 = 49.88ft^3

• Slurry Volume Below The 13 3/8” casing


• Rathole Volume = 30 x 1.6703 = 50.1ft^3
• Plus 20% excess = 60.1ft^3
• Total Number of Sacks Stage 1 = 693/1.18
= 587 sacks.
• Total Number of Sacks Stage 2 = 508/1.83
= 269 sacks.
Mixwater Requirements:

= (0.052 x 10 x 6300) + (0.052 x 15.9 x 730) = 3880psi

Stage 2: Mud Hydrostatic (0 - 1000 ft) + Cement Hydrostatic (1000 - 1500 ft)

Displacement Volume

• Stage 1:
• Displacement Volume = Volume between the cement head and the float collar

• Pf = 4700psi
• d = 8000ft
• ρm = 12ppg

• The Overbalance at 8000ft = (0.052 x 12 x 8000) – 4700 = 292psi

• The Overbalance with MW of 10ppg at 8000ft = (0.052 x 10 x 8000) –


4700 = -540psi

• Pressure due to 200ft = 12 x 0.052 x 200 = 124.8psi


• Total Capacity of Drillstring and Annulus
• Total Capacity of Drillstring = Drill pipe + Drill Collars (BHA)

Total Capacity of Annulus =


= (7000 x 0.0465) + ((2100 – 360) x 0.0459) + (360 x 0.0323)

Total Capacity of Drillstring and Annulus = 575bbls
• Pump Rate = No of strokes x Output
= 14 x 0.1428 = 1.992bbls/min
The Time taken to circulate out the influx = 575/1.992 = 289mins =
4.8hrs

The time taken to complete the first stage of the killing operation can
also be calculated = Total Capacity of Drillstring / Pump Rate
= 158bbls / 1.992
= 79 minutes
Initial Standpipe Pressure of Driller’s Method = Pdp + Pc1

Standpipe Pressure during Stage 3 of Driller’s Method = Pc2

When calculating for the duration of operation in Driller’s Method,

Stage 3 = Total Capacity of Drillstring / Pump Rate

Stage 4 = Total Capacity of Drillstring and Annulus / Pump Rate


When calculating for the duration of operation in One Circulation
Method,

Stage 1 = Total Capacity of Drillstring / Pump Rate

Stage 4 = Total Capacity of Drillstring and Annulus / Pump Rate
