[QUOTE=BLISTERS;41227]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 ?[/QUOTE]
To be perfectly honest, I’d prefer to leave you in the dark because the exlanation doesn’t matter to you. You’ll still be beyond the realms of an education. Stick to roughnecking!
