Provided are wiper plugs with removable cores and methods of using the wiper plugs with removable cores. An example wiper plug with a removable core comprises a molded body, a wiper, a cavity through the interior of the molded body, a support disposed in the cavity, and the removable core disposed in the cavity. An example method of use comprises removing the core of the wiper plug without drilling through the wiper plug, and leaving the remainder of the wiper plug in the wellbore.

Removable core wiper plug

A reverse cementing apparatus having a reverse cementing body with an internal bore, the reverse cementing body being coupleable to the downhole end of a casing pipe. The apparatus may further have a valve actuable from a closed to an open configuration, the closed configuration obstructing flow of fluid through the internal bore of the reverse cementing body. The valve may be configured to obstruct flow in an uphole direction during deployment but permit flow in the downhole direction. The apparatus further includes a port provided extending through a wall of the reverse cementing valve body from the internal bore to external the reverse cementing body, a fluid communication channel extending from the port to the internal bore. An actuable barrier member may be provided which is actuable to a closed position obstructing flow of fluid through the port upon actuation.

Reverse cementing valve system and method employing a double flapper valve with sliding sleeve and drillable nose

A valve housing has a first flapper moveable from an open position in the housing in which two-way flow is allowed to a closed position in which only one-way flow is permitted. A first collet sleeve is moveable from a first position to a second position in the valve housing. The first collet sleeve in the first position retains the flapper valve in the open position. The collet sleeve is moveable from a first position to a second position which allows the flapper to move to a closed position.

A dual plug system comprises a bottom plug and a top plug. The bottom plug comprises, a bottom plug mandrel, a plurality of first fins, and a first seat. The plurality of first fins is disposed between a first end and a second end of the bottom plug mandrel, and the first seat is disposed at the second end The top plug comprises a first end and a second end. The top plug further comprises a top plug mandrel, a plurality of second fins, a collar, and a sleeve. The plurality of second fins is disposed around the top plug mandrel covering at least a portion of the length of the top plug mandrel, and the collar is coupled to the top plug mandrel The dual plug system further comprises a connector, wherein the connector is coupled to the first end of the top plug.

Provided are cement plugging apparatuses and methods of use. An example cement plugging apparatus comprises a detachable plug fundament assembly comprising: a throughbore, a first plurality of wiper elements, and a second plurality of wiper elements. The examples cement plugging apparatus further comprises a cement diverting assembly coupled to the plug fundament assembly, wherein the cement diverting assembly comprises: a plurality of hoses, a body, a throughbore in the body, and a plurality of flow paths extending through the body and having openings for each individual flow path in the throughbore; wherein each individual hose in the plurality is coupled to an individual flow path in the plurality; and wherein each individual hose in the plurality extends away from the body of the cement diverting assembly.
