PRE-JOB CALCULATIONS 

The following calculations are required prior to a cement job:

(a)Lead and Tail slurry volumes mix water and additive volumes…..

(b)Total quantity of cement(c)Displacement volume(d)Hydrostatic pressure for various cement positions(e)Differential pressure at the end of cement displacement(f) Collapse pressure at the casing shoe at the end of displacement.(g) The expected total volume of returns during the cement job, and the expected overall  increase in pit volume.

The following sections discuss and illustrate the required calculations.The following equations are useful for carrying out cement calculations.

1.  Thickening time Thickening time = mixing time + surface time + displacement time + plug release time + safety time(6.1)
