CEMENTING TOP PLUG, FOR 18-5/8" OD CASING WEIGHT 97 PPF, NON ROTATING TYPE, PDC DRILLABLE, OILFIELD CEMENTING TOOLS

Cementing Plug Description of Oilfield Cementing Tools:

A rubber cementing plug used to separate the cement slurry from other fluids, reducing contamination and maintaining predictable slurry performance. Two types of cementing plugs 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. A diaphragm in the plug body ruptures to allow the cement slurry to pass through after the plug reaches the landing collar. The top plug has a solid body that provides positive indication of contact with the landing collar and bottom plug through an increase in pump pressure.

Bottom Plugs: Like the Top Cementing Plug, the fins and tail section provide positive wiping action. Fins also serve as a seal while cementing. The core of the bottom plug also made of special materials such as Plastic, Aluminium or Phenolic depending on the application and well conditions. A rubber diaphragm at the top of the plug ruptures after the plug is seated allowing cement to flow through.

Top Plugs: The Top Cementing Plug is designed to exert continuous pressure on the casing wall. The core is made of special materials such as Plastic, Aluminium or Phenolic depending on the application and well conditions. The tapered base fits the cavity of the top plug initiating a positive seal. A solid rubber top plug is also available.
