This article describes a method of hydraulic fracturing using cement. Squeeze cementing is usually accompanied by elevated pressure caused by pumping into a crack, channel, or other severe restriction to high velocity flow. It is recommended that the total pressure inside the well bore at any depth should be about 500-1,000 psi higher than the reservoir pressure of any zone exposed to the cement, but lower than formation fracturing pressure of any exposed zone. The objective is to keep the cement and all well fluids static and in place until the cement sets and reaches at least 500 psi CS.
