A method and apparatus for making real-time measurements of downhole properties during cement plug placement. A wired placement conduit is lowered downhole releasing a sensor package. The sensor package is capable of measuring downhole properties in real-time in the period while the cement plug sets.

A method and apparatus for making real-time measurements of downhole properties during cement plug placement. A wired placement conduit () is lowered downhole releasing a sensor package (). The sensor package is capable of measuring downhole properties in real-time in the period while the cement plug sets.

The invention discloses a cement slurry composition for cementing a well comprising: an hydraulic cement, water and a combination made of a cellulosic polymer and an acrylamido-methyl-propane sulfonate co- or ter-polymer, wherein the density of said cement slurry is above 1700 kg/m.

A cement composition resistant to carbon dioxide includes a hollow element for trapping carbonation products. The hollow element can be hollow spherical or quasi spherical particles including cenospheres, sodium-calcium-borosilicate glass microspheres, silica-alumina microspheres, or a combination thereof. Or the hollow element may be a spherical or quasi spherical void made in the set cement, for example by foaming the cement composition with a gas such as air, nitrogen or a combination thereof. The composition may be used to cement a subterranean well in which carbon dioxide is injected, stored or produced.

Cement composition for carbon dioxide supercritical environment

A wiper plug launching tool includes a body arranged to be lowered into a liner on a running string, the body having a tubular upper portion and a cylindrical lower portion, upper and lower wiper plugs loaded into the lower portion, each of the plugs having upwardly facing elastomer cups that are reduced in diameter during loading, a drive rod movably mounted in the upper portion of the body, a first piston or dart that is pumped down the running string and into engagement with the drive rod so that pressure applied to the first dart forces the rod downward to cause ejection of the lower wiper plug into the liner where cups of the plug expand to provide a moving seal at the lower end of a column of cement, and a second piston or dart that is pumped down into engagement with the first dart to force the rod further downward and cause ejection of the upper wiper plug into the liner where the cups of this plug expand to provide a moving seal at the upper end of the column of cement. A slidable valve is provided adjacent the upper end of the drive rod and is effective to close lateral flow ports upon downward movement of a dart and initial engagement with the drive rod. The drive rod has a piston mounted within a cylinder for cushioned movement upon metering of hydraulic fluid between the piston and cylinder during downward movement of the drive rod. A modification of the invention shown in FIGS. 9-11 utilizes three wiper plugs for sealing the liner.
