    Please answer the following 10 questions. Click 'Submit' at the end of the test when
    you are done.

    1. Why is casing necessary?

    a. It seals off formations

    b. It prevents the hole from caving in

    c. It decreases friction pressure in the annulus.

    d. Both A and B.
    2. Why must the surface hole, and surface casing, be drilled through and cemented against all
    freshwater zones in a formation?

    a. Because regulatory agencies require it to protect the zones from damage caused
    by further drilling

    b. Because fresh water does not conduct electricity efficiently and will render well
    measurement tools ineffective

    c. Because water can seep into the annulus and cause a kick

    d. Because water will rust the drilling equipment and damage it


    3. Why does the guide shoe have an opening in its end?

    a. Drilling mud enters the opening when the crew runs the casing into the wellbore

    b. Cement comes through this opening on its way into the annulus

    c. The hole allows the guide shoe to move easily through the drilling mud on its way
    down the annulus

    d. Both A and B.
    4. Which could cause differential sticking?

    a. The casing contacts an impermeable formation in the wellbore and the pressure in
    the hole is greater than the pressure in the foundation. The pressure differential tends
    to hold the casing fast against the lower-pressure wall of the foundation.

    b. The casing contacts a permeable formation in the wellbore and the pressure in the
    hole is less than the pressure in the foundation. The pressure differential tends to hold
    the casing fast against the higher-pressure wall of the foundation.

    c. The casing contacts a permeable formation in the wellbore and the pressure in the
    hole is greater than the pressure in the foundation. The pressure differential tends to
    hold the casing fast against the lower-pressure wall of the foundation.

    d. The casing contacts an impermeable formation in the wellbore and the pressure in
    the hole is less than the pressure in the foundation. The pressure differential tends to
    hold the casing fast against the higher-pressure wall of the foundation.
    5. What are functions of wiper plugs?

    a. The first (top) wiper plug wipes mud off of the inside of the casing and separates
    mud and cement. Bottom plug wipes cement off the inside of the casing and separates
    cement and displacement fluid.

    b. The top plug activates the guide shoe, and the bottom plug activates the float
    collar.

    c. The first (bottom) wiper plug wipes mud off of the inside of the casing and
    separates mud and cement. Top plug wipes cement off the inside of the casing and
    separates cement and displacement fluid.

    d. The bottom plug forces displacement fluid down into the casing, while the top plug
    sends down cement slurry.
    6. When pumping cement into the well, what does the special displacement fluid injected by the
    crew accomplish?

    a. The fluid removes impurities from the slurry so it will not have faults after it sets

    b. The fluid cleans the hole in advance of the slurry

    c. The fluid dilutes the slurry so it doesn't set too quickly

    d. The fluid forces the slurry down hole and into the annulus
    7. Cement is pumped down inside the casing and up the annulus.

    a. TRUE

    b. FALSE
    8. A sharp drop in pump pressure signals the pump operator to shut down the cement pump at
    the end of the cementing job.

    a. TRUE

    b. FALSE
    9. What does the cementing crew use to get the slurry down the casing?

    a. A cementing head

    b. A guide shoe

    c. A top drive

    d. An air hoist
    10. The final casing string is called the

    a. intermediate casing.

    b. production casing.

    c. conductor casing.

    d. surface casing.
