What pressure do they pump cement at offshore?

Question

Thanks so far, do you know a ball park figure for cementing a 7" liner, TD at 15,000 ft. (just so you know, I'm not a cementer out on a rig trying to learn my job on the internet!)

Answer 1

It varies with each well depending on depth and possible reservoir pressure and what you are doing with the cement.

Is it a geopressured gas well, or what? There is still not enough info to get an exact answer.

Answer 2

Cement has a higher gravity than seawater therefore does not need to be pumped at high pressure.

Edited Comment: 'Oil Field Trash' is right about drilling operations. I found one reference on web to skid mounted cement pump with discharge fluid system good for 15,000 psi , presumably max pumping pressure is lower. I see well kill may be one operation for high pressure cement pumping for high pressure formations.

Answer 3

high pressure
