FineCem™ Cement Overview SUBHEAD, 12PT ARIAL BOLD Title FineCem™ Cement – Overview Fine particle cement system suited for complex challenges – Tight casing leaks – Steam or water breakthrough in gravel packs – Slimhole conditions for primary cementing © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 2 FineCem™ Cement – Benefits Benefits over Conventional Micro-Particle Slurries Extremely low viscosity for pump-ability Lower yield points Enhanced free-water control Improved stability © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 3 FineCem™ Cement – Features Excellent pumping properties due to the ultrafine particle size – Eliminates need for dispersants or friction reducers Can be moved through the scale tank of the bulk plant for easy blending of additives – Eliminates handling of sacks in the field – Simplifies field operations – Improves safety Compatible with all cement additives and does not require dispersants © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 4 FineCem™ Cement – Tight Casing Leaks Remediation for tight casing leaks that bleed off pressure and will not accept a continuous injection Can penetrate small leaks Repair without prior acid treatment © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 5 FineCem™ Cement – Gravel Pack Breakthrough Remediating for undesired water, gas or steam production through gravel pack Penetrates the permeability of gravel packs Shuts off unwanted flow © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 6 FineCem™ Cement – Primary Cementing Lightweight cement Achieves early compressive strengths higher than conventional lightweight slurries – Temperature range from 110°F - 295°F (43°C -146°C), © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 7 FineCem™ Cement – From the Laboratory Flows through the pore space typical of proppant used in Shale gas fracture stimulation treatments © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 8 FineCem™ Cement – From the Field Challenge – Shale / Extended-Reach Horizontal – Perforation would not accept proppant fluid even under 8,500 psi pumping pressures – Unable to complete aggressive completion operation until perforation was sealed – Time-consuming and expensive option: coiled tubing and snubbing units brought in to place and set a mechanical tool Solution – Alternative: FineCem™ Cement squeeze operation – Flow easily in highly-pressurized perforation (low rheologies) – Highly stable slurry with low fluid loss – Quickly achieves static gel strength, resisting gas channeling Results – 105 feet of cement total above and below retainer – Zonal isolation verified via successful casing pressure test – Completion operations resumed and well brought on to production soon after © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 9 FineCem™ Cement – From the Field Challenge – Offshore: achieve successful temporary plug to abandon on first attempt – Before setting cement plug, stop any potential flow of formation fluids through an existing gravel pack section Solution – FineCem™ Cement – Squeeze operation through the screen at the gravel pack zone using 50 bbl of FineCem cement – 50 ft cement plug was set above the retainer Results – Well was successfully abandoned © 2012 HALLIBURTON. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 10 FineCem™ Cement – Summary Tight casing leaks – Can penetrate small leaks without prior acid treatment and without bridging off Gravel packs – Penetrates the permeability to shut off unwanted flow Slimhole conditions for primary cementing – Excellent pumping properties – Achieves early compressive strength © 2012 HALLIBURTON.
