Abstract
A method for cementing a casing string allows for a deactivation fluid to be injected into a toe of a wellbore in sufficient quantities without displacing cement accumulated in an annulus around the casing string. The method includes landing a first isolation device within a flow path to isolate a shoe track from an annular isolation apparatus and a communication tool. A seal member of the annular isolation apparatus is radially extended around the casing string to fluidly isolate an annulus above the seal member from a toe of the wellbore. A cement slurry is pumped through at least one radial port into the annulus above the seal member without passing through the shoe track. The deactivation fluid is pumped through a bypass mechanism of the first isolation device and into the shoe track while the toe of the wellbore is fluidly isolated from the annulus above the seal member.
