This paper reports that computer simulation has been used successfully to design remedial cement squeeze jobs and efficiently evaluate actual downhole performance and results. The program uses fluid properties, well parameters and wellbore configuration to estimate surface pressure at progressive stages of pumping operations. This new tool predicts surface pumping pressures in advance, allowing operators to effectively address changes that occur downhole during workover operations.
