Halliburton invented the revolutionary cement jet mixer, to eliminate hand-mixing of cement, and the measuring line, a tool used to guarantee cementing accuracy. [21] By 1922, the Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company (HOWCO) was prospering from the Mexia, Texas oil boom, having cemented its 500th well in late summer.
Boom pumps are capable of pumping at very high volumes and are less labor intensive to operate when compared to line or other types of concrete pumps. The second main type of concrete pump, commonly referred to as a "line pump" or trailer-mounted concrete pump, is either mounted on a truck or placed on a trailer. This pump requires steel or ...
Oil services firm Halliburton (HAL) has responded to claims that it was aware of test results showing that the cement to be used as a plug for the bottom of the Macondo oil well was unstable.
A rubber plug used to separate the cement slurry from other fluids, reducing contamination and maintaining predictable slurry performance. Two types of cementing plug are typically used on a cementing operation. The bottom plug is launched ahead of the cement slurry to minimize contamination by fluids inside the casing prior to cementing.
That Macondo well exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers, spewing 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, creating widespread damage to the ecosystem along the Gulf Coast and ...
PUMP TRUCK – The Engine of the truck is used to power the pump (which is a series of valves mounted behind the cab). -----> The Pump truck has a trailer which is the MUD TANK SNUBBING BASKET – Once again the trucks engine is used to power the unit's hydraulics. The Basket lies on the bed of the truck behind the cab.
The pump itself is the load and the truck always operates at maximum weight. In transit the boom is folded front to rear. In use the pump uses outriggers and the boom unfolds forward over the cab or to either side. Large pumps can have multiple extra axles. Concrete conveyors have a telescopic conveyor belt. They do similar work to a pump but ...
Schlumberger flies a crew to conduct a cement bond log to determine whether the cement has bonded to the casing and surrounding formations. It is required in rules. [17] [11] April 19 – Halliburton completes cementing of the final production liner string. [21] April 20 – 7 am – BP cancels a recommended cement bond log test.
