 Volume of open hole below the casing shoe is
not calculated.
 Cement circulates out of the shoe and up the
annulus.
 Any cement displacing the mud below by gravity
is considered negligible.

Handbook states:

Yield varies with density
Basically, when you change the density you alter
the

the gal/sk of mix water required and multiply
 Mix Fluid = gal/sack x number of sacks

 Mix Water Quality
 In the laboratory, clean location water is used for
cement test. Test results are only obtainable in
the field when same water (= clean) is used.
 Causes for contamination:
– Dirty rig tanks
– Left over chemicals/mud in lines and pumps
– Dirty displacement tanks
