Cementing operations are critical to well life, regardless of quality, as they combine one of the main factors for integrity.
Integrity, a defined concept, since it currently includes construction and abandonment, has a crucial step in cementing to promote the isolation of fluids from permoporous formations.
It is necessary to understand the chemistry of cement and additives, laboratory procedures, regulations, execution in the field, equipment, types of operations, evaluation etc., and in this context TECCIM provides training.
