Liner cementation process and system

摘要

Present embodiments are directed to coupling a cementation assembly with a hung or set liner string in a well and moving the liner string during a cementation operation. Specifically, for example, a process in accordance with present techniques includes running a cementation assembly into a well on drill pipe and engaging, with a distal end of the cementation assembly, a liner top assembly of a liner string that is positioned downhole in the well, wherein the liner string was previously positioned downhole in the well without being cemented into the well. Further, the process includes latching the cementation assembly with the liner string such that movement of the cementation assembly is translated to the liner string, and flowing cement through the drill pipe and into the liner string while moving the cementation assembly and the liner string.

1. A process, comprising:
running a cementation assembly into a well on drill pipe; engaging, with a distal end of the cementation assembly, a liner top assembly of a liner string that is downhole in the well, wherein the liner string was previously positioned downhole in the well without being cemented into the well; latching the cementation assembly with the liner string such that movement of the cementation assembly is translated to the liner string, wherein latching the cementation assembly with the liner string comprises activating a latch on a tie back seal stem shoe of the cementation assembly to engage a casing profile nipple of the liner string; flowing cement through the drill pipe and into the liner string; and moving the cementation assembly and the liner string during the flowing of cement.
