Cementing Technologies (DRI30)

  • 23-27 June 20245 daysDoha, QatarCourse Fee: 5350 USD

Description

Cementing operations are critical for well life as they constitute the foundations of any gas or oil well. Well Integrity is compromised, unless efficient cementing operations are carried out in every casing job. Like the foundations of a house, cementing is the basis for an efficient well performance.
