Rotate liners for a successful cement job

Journal Article · · World Oil; (United States)
OSTI ID:5159345
Until recently, few liners were moved-rotated or reciprocated-during the cementing process, because of difficulties inherent in liner placement. Now rotation or reciprocation is practiced on an estimated 20% of all liner jobs, and rotation is becoming an increasingly popular technique. Successful rotation has even been accomplished from floating drilling vessels in holes deviated as much as 47/sup 0/. This article discusses equipment and techniques that will allow rotation throughout the cementing process and overcome usual causes of rotation job failure.
