| Abstract | Perhaps the most critical component of the drilling process to the integrity and longevity of a Geothermal well is the cementation of the casings. The design of the cementing programme shall utilise materials and procedures which are most likely to ensure that the total length of both the cased annulus and the open hole annulus is completely filled with sound cement which will withstand long term exposure to geothermal fluids and temperature. The cementing equipment, cementing materials, cement slurry designs and operational procedures are outlined and reviewed. |
