Study Notes

Pump Types and Functionality

  • Single acting pumps move fluid only on the forward stroke, known as Triplex.
  • Double acting pumps move fluid on both the forward and backward strokes, referred to as Duplex.
  • A basic pump comprises a piston (the liner) that reciprocates inside a cylinder.

Well Cementing

  • The primary function of well cementing is to secure the well casing in place and seal the annular spaces.
  • Well cementing enhances wellbore stability by preventing fluid movement between different geological formations, reducing the risk of blowouts and reservoir contamination.
  • The cement sheath plays a critical role in isolating different pressure zones and preventing fluid migration between them.
  • Proper centralization in well cementing is significant as it ensures uniform cement coverage around the casing, which is essential for effective sealing.
  • Zonal isolation refers to the ability of cement to separate different geological zones within the well, preventing fluid communication and ensuring integrity throughout the wellbore.
