After bump plug pressure acquired, we have to know the casing brush pressure for that grade, only to make sure that casing will not brush when the cementing operation carry out. After reading that cementing operation calculation we also need to know how to calculate slurry yield within the cement laboratory, which usually base on fluid from a future cementing location took place. Here the laboratory calculation Laboratory calculation What is the density in lb/gal, slurry yield in ft3/sack, water requirement in gal/sack, for slurry with G type cement 94 lb or 426.38 gram in a sack, bila if the cement use as a sample are 100 gram, and water percentage as shown on the table below ?
