One-stage cementing

Scroll Indication »

Seal in the annulus and isolate troublesome loss zone section

Challenge

A single stage cementing operation can be requested to start cementing only above the loss zone, in case it is located at the bottom of the well.

Solution

The cement packer will be thus positioned and expanded in the openhole section for a one-stage cement job, once the annulus is sealed below.
