[QUOTE=alcor;41226]You may have no idea why they might be pumping, but that just exposes your inexperience. There are very good reasons to pump. Have you ever heard of barite sag?[/QUOTE]
Pardon my inexperience…Barite sag ? If this is the case then why pump base oil ? If barite sag is reducing HSP at the upper sections of the well then technically speaking the well is live and ready to kick and pumping cement was a waste of time. What then is your experienced definition of a dead well ?
