4.9 Surface Launch Plugs for Combination CasingStringsUse combination plugs to cement multiple casingstring sizes and weights in a single casing string. Useof combination cementing plugs allows the cement-ing of tapered casing strings while helping ensureefficient cement removal from the casing ID.

The following guidelines should be considered whencementing combination strings with combinationtop plugs:

1. Use a champher, radius-reducing swage, orother transition ID edge to prevent damage tothe wiper.

2. Plan for a pressure increase when the plugenters the smaller-ID casing.

Halliburton cementing plugs are supplied for usewith water-, oil-, and synthetic-based fluid systems.In most cases, proper plug selection is required tohelp ensure rubber/fluid compatibility. Cautionshould be used when using plugs with oil-/synthetic-based drilling fluids. For more information aboutplug/fluid compatibility, contact Tool Systems in theDuncan Technology Center.

4.9.2 Bottom Combination Plugs with Rupture Disc

Table 4.9.2.A provides data about bottom combination plugs for a tapered casing string. In Figure 4.9.2.A,portions of a five-wiper plug are used at the top and bottom of the plug to provide plug stability as the plugpumps through the lower and smaller casing size. The combination plugs in Table 4.9.2.A use a 600-psirupture disc to allow the plug to pump into the smaller casing without rupturing the disc.

4.10.1 Omega Latchdown Tubing Plugs and Baffles

The Omega latchdown tubing plug is a dual-purpose,top cementing plug that wipes cement from tubingduring slurry displacement. When the plug is pumpedto place in the baffle, the plug acts as a backpressurevalve and helps hold the cement column in placearound the outside of the tubing string. After thetubing plug is latched in the baffle, wireline operationscan continue without moving the plug off its seat.

The Omega latchdown tubing plug (Table and Fig-ure 4.10.1.A) consists of molded rubber around acast aluminum insert and made up with an alumi-num mandrel. A snap ring and rubber seal elementare mounted on the plug to allow backpressure-holding ability.

A drillable cast-iron baffle (Table and Figure4.10.1.B) is placed in the tubing string between joints,usually one joint above the shoe. This baffle acts asboth a plug seat and anchor for the latchdown plug.

After the cement is mixed, the Omega latchdowntubing plug is released from the surface slurry. It ispumped into the baffle, where the aluminum snapring locks into the baffle undercut.

When the pump pressure is released from the tub-ing, the latch ring holds the plug in place. Thelatchdown plug and baffle may be drilled out ifnecessary with a roller-cone rock bit. PDC bits shouldnot be used to drill out this equipment.

The Omega five-wiper latchdown tubing plug combi-nation (Table and Figure 4.10.2.A) is another varia-tion of a top plug for wiping tubing during cementdisplacement. This design uses a tubing-sized five-wiper plug and latch-in nose, which is attached tothe top Omega plug. The two plugs are held together

with a threaded drillable tool. The combination ofthe two wiper plugs provides excellent wiping of thetubing ID and separation of the cement and wellborefluids. If the plug is to be drilled out, a roller-conerock bit should be used because of the large amountof aluminum in the plug.

4.10.3 Double Omega Latchdown Plugs and Baffles

The double Omega latchdown plug uses two Omegaplugs joined by a drillable aluminum tool. This pluguses a baffle that is usually installed in the casingstring one joint off bottom. Table and Figure4.10.3.A provide a schematic of this plug and thebaffle part numbers used with this plug.

When pumped to a shutoff, the bottom Omega plugpasses through the baffle. When 500 to 1,000 psi isapplied to the tubing string, the plug seats on itsshoulder and latches into the locking mechanismbetween the two Omega plugs. This combination oftwo rubber Omega plugs provides excellent wipingof the casing ID. If the plug and baffle must be drilledout, only a roller-cone rock bit should be used.

4.11 Casing Latchdown Plugs

A latchdown casing plug and baffle can be usedabove most conventional floating equipment to helpcontrol fluid and pressure from below. Preventingfluid entry into the casing string can help allowrelease of surface pressure immediately after thecement column has been pumped into place. If theplug is properly latched into a latch in the baffle, thelatchdown feature helps prevent the cement or topplug from moving back up the casing.

A casing latchdown plug may be used in place of afloat collar. The casing does not need to be floated inthe hole.

Casing latchdown plugs may be of two types:

• MSC (multiple-stage cementer) plug with alatchdown nose

• Three- or five-wiper plug with a latchdownnose and baffle

For both types, a latchdown baffle must be placed inthe casing as the plug is being run in the hole. Thebaffle is typically installed one or two joints abovethe guide or float shoe. The drillable baffle is under-cut to receive the snap ring of the plug nose.

4.11.2 Casing Latchdown Plugs (Three and Five Wiper)

Casing latchdown cementing plugs (Figures 4.11.2.A and 4.11.2.B) are available in the 4 ½-in. through7 5/8-in. casing sizes. The top portion of the plug can have either three or five wipers. The lower portion hasa latch-in nose to latch into a baffle installed in the casing string. If the casing string will not be floated intothe hole, the latchdown plug, when landed and latched in its seat, can prevent backflow of cement into thecasing string. Table 4.11.2.A shows dimensions of the plugs and part numbers for both the plug and baffles.

4.12 SSR® Subsurface Release Cementing Plug System

With the SSR® subsurface release cementing plugsystem, cementing operations can be performed froma floating vessel or fixed platform that uses a subseawellhead. The SSR cementing plug set is installed inthe top joint of the casing string and is made up to thebottom of an installation tool that is attached to thecasing string. The installation tool and casing stringare lowered on a drillpipe string, landed, and sealedin the subsea wellhead on the ocean floor. When thetool and string have landed, the well can be circu-lated before cementing operations.

The bottom SSR plug is released ahead of the cementby a weighted plastic ball dropped down the drillstring.The ball lands on a seat of the bottom plug, releasingthe bottom SSR plug. When the bottom SSR pluglands on the float collar, a bypass mechanism allowsthe cement to pump around the ball.

After all the cement has been mixed and pumpedinto the drillpipe, a drillpipe releasing dart islaunched from the surface to wipe the drillpipe IDand release the top SSR plug. The drillpipe pluglatches and seals in the top SSR plug. The top SSRplug is then pumped to a pressure shutoff on thefloat collar. Figures 4.12.A through 4.12.C showsa typical cementing operational schematic of theSSR plug set.

4.12.8 High-Strength Oil-ResistantNR SSR Top Plug

The high-strength oil-resistant NR SSR top plug (Figure4.12.8.A) is used in applications where the casing string is tobe tested to high pressures (7,000 to 10,000 psi) immediatelyafter bumping the top plug at the end of cementing operations.The casing may be pressure-tested while the cement in theannulus is set and still in the fluid stage. Testing the casingimmediately after bumping the top cementing plug can pre-vent cracking of the cement and formation of a microannulusbetween the casing and set cement. Table 4.12.8.A providesmore information.

Important: To pressure-test casing to highpressures, a high-pressure NR float collarmust be run in the casing string.

This plug may be drilled out after cementing operations witheither a roller-cone rock bit or a PDC fixed-blade bit.

4.12.11 Combination SSR Plug Set

SSR plug sets (top and bottom) can also be made for tapered casing strings(Figure 4.12.11.A). Plug operation is the same as a standard SSR plugoperation. Drillpipe darts may be ordered in 4 ½-, 5-, 5 ½-, and 6 5/8-in.drillpipe sizes. Because of the aluminum materials used and the length of theplug, the plug sets should be drilled out with roller-cone rock bits. See Table4.12.11.A for casing and part number information.

4.13 SSR® Swivel/Equalizer

The SSR® subsurface release swivel/equalizer assembly (Figure 4.13.A)serves two functions:

• It equalizes pressure above thetop plug and the drillpipe.

• It allows the running tool to beturned during makeup.

Pressure above the top plug should berelieved to help prevent the top plugbody from being sheared off by the re-lease mechanism. After the SSR® plugassembly is installed into the landingjoint, circulation pressure bypasses thewipers on the cementing plugs and istrapped above the top plug. During therelease of either the bottom plug or thetop plug, circulation is stopped and pres-sure is allowed to decrease, creating adifferential pressure across the top plugbody. If the pressure is not relieved, apressure force acting downward on thetop plug is created. This pressure forcetries to push the top plug down and canshear the threads off the plug body. Theswivel/equalizer assembly allows thepressure to be relieved into the drillpipeand helps equalize the pressure acrossthe top plug.

The swivel feature allows the runningtool to be turned for makeup purposes.

Note: The shear pins that holdthe bottom plug to the bottomplug release mechanism shouldnot be exposed to a shearingaction.

Two shearing actions are possible: adownward force and a twisting force.Either force will shear the bottomplug shear pins. The twisting force ismade when operators turn the upper

mandrel of the release mechanism whileholding the lower mandrel stationary.This action can occur when the runningtool is being made up. The swivel/equal-izer assembly allows the running tool tobe turned while the upper and lowermandrels stay stationary. A swivel/equal-izer valve should be run on each SSR plugset.

Note: Type H SSR plug sets with a3 3/

4-in. 6-stub Acme box thread

looking up may be attached di-rectly to the standard swivel equal-izer by removing the lowerconnector from the swivel mandrel.

The bottom plug releasing ball for all 7-in. to 20-in.SSR plug sets (Figure 4.14.3.A) uses a 3.4-specificgravity ball, which will fall freely through mostdrillpipe tool joints. This ball is packaged with theSSR assembly. The size of the releasing ball shouldbe measured before being launched into the drillpipe(Table 4.14.3.A).

4.14.4 SSR Plug System Releasing Pressures

Table 4.14.4.A provides the gauge release pres-sure for SSR plugs. Pressure observed at the sur-face seldom indicates the bottom plug releasepressure because the drillpipe and casing are usu-ally in vacuum due to the fall of cement placed inthe drillpipe and casing.
