Record 2 2011-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Site Equipment
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
DEF

A bailing device with a release valve, usually of the disk or flapper type, that is used to place or spot material (as cement slurry) at the bottom of a well.

CONT

This technique... called laying in a plug... may be accomplished by placing the cement with a dump-bottom bailer on a wire line or by pumping cement down the drill pipe or tubing.

OBS

dump bailer; dump-bottom bailer: These terms are more general than "cement dump bailer," since they are used for cement or any other slurry material.

Key term(s)
  • dump bottom bailer

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel de chantier
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
DEF

[Dispositif] servant à déposer à l'aide d'un câble un bouchon de ciment au fond d'un puits.

OBS

cuiller de cimentation; cuillère de cimentation; cuiller pour mise en place du ciment : Ces termes, qui s'appliquent à la mise en place du ciment, sont plus spécifiques que les termes anglais «dump bailer» ou «dump-bottom bailer» qui peuvent s'appliquer à d'autres matériaux.

Key term(s)
  • cuillère pour mise en place du ciment

Record 3 2005-08-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
  • Oil Drilling
CONT

It is of the utmost importance that all casings, except the perforated liners, be firmly cemented into position. This is effected by injecting cement slurry down the casing by means of a plug which forces the slurry to flow around the bottom, or "shoe" of the casing...

PHR

To inject, pump cement slurry.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sondage et forage miniers
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
CONT

En effet, lors de cimentation d'un puits pétrolier, un laitier de ciment (mélange eau/ciment réalisé à la température ambiante en surface) est injecté entre la roche et le tubage métallique du puits afin d'assurer la cohésion de l'ensemble et une certaine tenue métallique.

CONT

Le volume de lait de ciment utilisé pour la cimentation d'un tubage est d'au moins 30 pour cent supérieur au volume estimé de l'annulaire à remplir [...]

PHR

Injecter du laitier de ciment.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A rubber-bodied, plastic- or aluminum-cored device that is used to separate cement and drilling fluid as they are being pumped down the inside of the casing during cementing operations.

CONT

A cementing plug is... inserted, followed by drilling fluid, which forces the cement to the bottom of the hole and up into the space between casing and wall... until it reaches the surface along with any remaining mud.

OBS

Wiper plugs also remove drilling mud that adheres to the inside of the casing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)

  • Oil Production
DEF

To bring under control a well that is threatening to blow out; to circulate water and mud into a completed well before starting well-servicing operations.

DEF

OBS

to kill: As applied to an oil or gas well means to shut off the flow of oil or gas temporarily or to destroy the well entirely so that neither oil nor gas can flow.

CONT

Completion fluid of high enough density to kill the well is contained in the annulus above the packer and production is via the tubing.

CONT

Diver assistance was required to kill and to plug the well with cement.
