Abstract

Top Cement Pulsation (TCP) is an effective and inexpensive method of prevention of flow after cementing. Designed to work with neat cements, TCP promotes progressive cement setting from the bottom up. This report illustrates that TCP can effectively maintain hydrostatic pressure in the cemented annulus. It is also shown that TCP can control rheology of cement slurry in such a way that the likelihood of invasion of formation fluids into the annulus is minimized.
