1.Description
The float collar is installed near the bottom of the casing string on which cement plugs land during the primary cementing operation. It typically consists of a short length of casing fitted with a check valve. This device may be a flapper-valve type, a spring-loaded ball valve or other type.
The check-valve assembly fixed within the float collar prevents flowback of the cement slurry when pumping is stopped. Without a float collar, the cement slurry placed in the annulus could U-tube, or reverse flow back into the casing. The greater density of cement slurries than the displacement mud inside the casing causes the U-tube effect.
Characteristics
Advantages:
- High strength design ensures high pressure bump and back flow resistance;
- Withstands long periods of circulation;
- Automatic fill-up, saves considerable running-in time of casing;
- Easy drill out with PDC bits;
- Special non-rotational groove design ensures cementing plugs dilled out quickly;
- Can be used not only in unclassified technical casing, oil layer casing but also in deep well, extra-deep well and special technology well
- It is economically priced.
