Casing and cementing services are provided when the well is drilled. Casing is a large steel pipe, inserted into the wellhole and cemented into place.
Cementing is important for many reasons. 1. Cementing keeps the casing secure. 2. Cementing keeps contaminants from flowing from upper zones to lower zones (ie: from ground surface to water aquifer) 3. Cement is a protective sheath around casing. 4. Cement acts as a hydraulic seal. 5. Cement seals off "lose circulation" zones. For more information on drilling, visit www.unitechdrilling.com
The causes of the blow out are unknown, however there has been some speculation that it was related to the cementing of production casing.
Halliburton Services, the world's largest supplier of cementing, stimulation, water and sand-control services and related downhole tools.
Cementing a well is either pumping cement into the drilled hole to decomission or plug up the hole, or to pump cement in between the casing (pipe) and the hole itself. This allows control of pressurized oil leaking from the hole.
