Horizontal wells pose cementing challenges

Successful cementing of horizontal wells depends on many factors such as drilling fluid properties, casing centralization, displacement mechanics, cement-mud spacer design and cement slurry properties. Finally, proper evaluation is essential to determine the success or failure of a horizontal casing cement job. The paper discusses displacement mechanics of the drilling fluid and cuttings and cement rheology.
