Squeeze cementing is done for one or more of the following reasons: (1) repair the primary cement job; (2) shut off unwanted water and gas; (3) shut off channels above or below producing zone; (4) repair casing leaks caused by rupture or corrosion; (5) abandon depleted or nonproductive zones; and (6) alter injection profiles. It is apparent from these widely varied uses that a great amount of information is needed in order to design or plan a successful squeeze job. Actually, 2 types of information are needed. These are well information and cement slurry information. Some of the basic well information needed includes rock characteristics, stimulation history, and differential temperature or radioactive surveys. Use of modern cement testing equipment, along with quality control checks periodically conducted on the cements and additives, increases the reliability of the prediction of how long it will take a cement slurry to set, gain strength, and dehydrate.
