Publication of API RP 10B-2 “Testing Well Cements”
- Publication of RP 10B-2, 2nd Edition April 2013. Comments are being logged, reviewed and discussed with set path forward after “Special Work Session” on Thursday, January 21st, 2016
- Future revisions to include: Stirred Fluid Loss Testing, Fluid Loss Screens and elimination of inconsistencies between API Spec 10A and RP 10B-2
- New WG was formed to revise/rewrite Sections 10, 11 & 12, specifically with regards to atmospheric vs HTHP slurry conditioning requirements.
Publication of API RP 10B-3 “Testing of Well Cements used in Deepwater Well Construction” 2nd Edition, January 2016
Publication of API RP 10B-4 “Preparation and Testing of Foamed Cement Formulations at Atmospheric Pressure”, 2nd Edition, October 2015
- Technical Report (TR) on Foam Cement Behavior under Well Conditions is the second phase of this WG charge. Work progressing.
API RP 10B-5, 1st Edition, “Determination of Shrinkage and Expansion of Well Cement Formulations at Atmospheric Pressure”, April 2005
- Document reaffirmed in April 2015.
API RP 10B-6, 1st Edition, “Determining the Static Gel Strength of Cement Formulations”, August 2010
- Document reaffirmed in April 2015. Document revision is underway by Work Group.
Rewrite of API Spec 10D, 6th Edition March 2002 “Bow Spring Casing Centralizers”
- Document reaffirmed April 2015. Review and update API Spec 10D to include performance testing requirements for centralizers that are to be used in applications where they are run through restrictions that are smaller than the hole size in which they are to be set.
API RP 10D-2, 1st Edition, “Recommended Practice for Centralizer Placement and Stop Collar Testing”, August 2004
- Document reaffirmed in April 2015.
Rewrite of API RP 10F, 3rd Edition April 2002 “Performance Testing of Cementing Float Equipment”
- Document reaffirmed in April 2015.
- WG will publish API Specification 10F, 4th Edition which will replace and make obsolete API RP 10F, 3rd Edition. This document will include required specifications and the associated performance testing protocols for the manufacturing of Cement Float Equipment.
- Document was balloted and is currently in comment resolution.
Published Technical Report 10TR6, “Evaluation and Testing of Mechanical Cement Wiper Plugs”, 1st Edition, July 2015
10TR7 on “Mechanical Behavior of Cement”
- Document has been balloted. Ballot results and comments have been resolved and forwarded for recirculation.
API RP 65, 1st Edition, “Cementing Shallow Water Flow Zones in Deepwater Wells”, September 2002
- Reaffirmed 2012, currently being revised by Work Group. Expected publishing date Q1, 2016 as API RP 65-1.
API Standard 65-2, 2nd Edition, “Isolating Potential Flow Zones During Well Construction”, December 2010
- Reaffirmation was expected in December 2015.
API Bulletin E3, 1st Edition, Environmental Guidance Document: “Well Abandonment and Inactive Well Practices for U.S. Exploration and Production Operations”, January 1993
- Reaffirmed 2000, the document will be revised and used as the basis for the newly formed Work Group on Well Abandonment.
