Evaluation of squeeze cementing design using the balance plug method in well SA, field 05
Main Article Content
Abstract
Squeeze cementing is a secondary cementing method used to improve cement bond quality, isolate problematic zones, and maintain wellbore integrity. This study evaluated the squeeze cementing design using the Balance Plug method in Well SA, Field 05, based on well data, Injectivity Rate Test (IRT) data, cement slurry data, and Cement Bond Log (CBL) and Variable Density Log (VDL) evaluation. The CBL-VDL evaluation on the perforation interval of 115.5–130 m showed an amplitude of 30 mV and a Bond Index of 20%, indicating a suboptimal cement bond that required remedial cementing. The design calculations produced a casing capacity of 0.03406 bbl/ft, a 2⅞-inch tubing capacity of 0.00579 bbl/ft, and an open hole–casing annulus capacity of 0.02755 bbl/ft, with a total cement slurry volume of 5.61 bbl (28.62 sacks). The formation fracture pressure was found to be 250 psi, with a safe operating limit set at 80% of the maximum pump pressure, i.e., 135 psi. After three squeeze stages were carried out, the Top of Cement (TOC) was found at a depth of 58 m. The Balance Plug method was considered feasible and safe to apply, as it met the operational design criteria and had the potential to improve cement bond quality within the target interval.
