OVERVIEW
engineered
for
cementing
large casing
Top-Cos inner string cementing float equipment allows

large diameter casing strings to be cemented through the
drill pipe or tubing by stabbing/latching and sealing into
the float shoe or collar. This eliminates the drill out of
large quantities of cement, reduces circulating times, and
reduces pumping pressures. Top-Cos inner string cementing
float equipment utilizes the HFX valve and is offered
with or without a latch-in feature on the stinger.
Type 960/961 - Float Collar and Float Shoe, Stab-In

Utilized for most inner string cementing applications.

Recommended where reciprocation of the casing is not required during circulation.

Sequence of Operation
designed
effective
cement
placement
OVERVIEW
Top-Cos stage cementing equipment allows for 2 and
3 stage cement jobs. This reduces breakdown of weak
formations due to high hydrostatic pressure from a tall
column of cement and allows for effective zonal
isolation around lost circulation zones. It also assists
in selectively placing cement over specific casing intervals.
Stage collars are available in different casing grades,
weights, and thread connections. Plugsets are available
for each stage collar application and are ordered
separately. Both hydraulic and mechanical stage collars
are compatible for use with external casing packers.
A combination of two stage tools can be configured for
three stage cementing operations.
Type 678 - Stage Collar (Hydraulic) with Phenolic Seats

Designed to minimize drill out time.
Phenolic seats and plugs with integrated anti-rotation features prevent plug rotation during drill out.
Flexibility to open the stage collar either hydraulically or mechanically. Opening dart can be ordered
separately for mechanically operating tool.
Optional phenolic cancellation cone.
step 1.
Type 680 - Stage Collar (Hydraulic)

Designed for maximum flexibility in user operations, the
hydraulic feature allows the tool to operate in highly deviated
or horizontal wells.
One design for both mechanical and hydraulic operation.
Consistent shifting pressure.
Can adjust the hydraulic opening pressure by removing externally
installed shear screws in the field.
PDC drillable aluminum seats and plugs.
Type 681 - Stage Collar (Mechanical)

Designed for mechanical operation only using a free fall
opening dart.
Only recommended where deviation of the hole above the tool
is 25 or less.
PDC drillable aluminum seats and plugs.
Stage collar in running-in and first stage cementing position. First stage shut-off plug will pass through stage
cementing collar while displacing first stage cement, landing on baffle plate located in float collar.
Step 2-
HYDRAULIC opening: Opening sleeve is shifted down by applying hydraulic casing pressure, allowing second stage
cement to be displaced through the ports.
Step 2-
MECHANICAL opening: Opening dart is dropped (free-fall), and landed in the opening seat. casing pressure is
applied, the opening sleeve is shifted to the open position allowing second stage cement to be displaced through
the ports.
Step 3-
Once the second stage cement job is complete, the closing plug lands in the stage cementing collar closing seat.
Application of casing pressure shears the shear screws and pushes the closing sleeve to the closed and locked
position, sealing off the ports. This completes the two stage cement job. (Hydraulic operation works the same,
but no opening dart will be present).

OVERVIEW
With the energy industrys challenging and demanding performance
requirements, Top-Cos Centralizer Subs are designed to withstand
the most extreme deepwater down hole conditions. Manufactured
from mechanical stock tubing, the centralizer subs are designed to
perform in wells containing tight clearances and under-reamed hole
sections. Additionally, Top-Cos customization capabilities allow
the sub design to match the exact needs of most well and casing
programs. Combined with Top-Cos expert Applications Engineering
team and the simulations offered, the centralizer subs meet specific
well requirements, as well as overcome common drilling challenges.
Type 360 - D2 Centralizer - Sub, Integral/Bow Spring

Designed for use in deepwater wells where tight wellbore restrictions and
under-reamed sections are encountered. The D2 model is particularly
well suited for applications that require additional protection to the bow
spring while running casing, and applications with uncertain or high levels
of side force.
Features:
Solid vanes machined on the OD of a tubular sub over which a bow spring
centralizer is placed.
Notched bow spring collar: Bow springs are welded into the notches,
resulting in a flush profile reducing minimum compressed OD.
Full scale tests show bow springs cause no damage to the subsea casing
hanger seal surfaces.

Compression of the bow springs between the vanes ensures their protection
when going through dog legs and tight clearances.
The solid vanes guarantee a minimum standoff when higher than expected
side forces are encountered.
Stress caused by inadvertent rotation is distributed evenly around the collar
instead of being concentrated on a single bow, reducing the risk of failure.
Vane dimensions are customizable to increase flow by area and standoff.
Particularly well suited for reciprocation.
The centralizer will stay in place due to the notched collar design.
Guaranteed stand-off that will lead to improved mud displacement and cementing.

Type 420 - Hinged with Set Screws
www.top-co.us
Preferred installation is over the stop collar. This allows

for the bow spring centralizer to be pulled into the hole
during run-in (Fig 1). Pushing the centralizer will increase
starting and running forces and may damage the bows.
Placement over the coupling eliminates need for stop
collar but can reduce standoff at midspan (Fig 2).
For solid body centralizers, stop collars are recommended
to be placed above and below centralizer (Fig 3),
but can also be installed between collar and coupling
(Fig 4), or they are installed to float between couplings.

ENGINEERED CASING CENTRALIZATION PROGRAMS

Identify buckled intervals and adjust centralizers accordingly.
ABSTRACT
Fit-for-purposed engineered casing centralization programs, based on actual downhole conditions AND drilling practices,
can help to minimize the compromise between getting casing to bottom and achieving good zonal isolation. Pre and post
installation analysis must be conducted to identify the main expected challenges and implement mitigating techniques.
Close communication between operator and manufacturer increases the chances of success.
CONSIDERATIONS
Review and evaluate previous casing centralization programs.
Discuss with the drilling engineer past experiences in
running casing in the area.
If available, obtain relevant data from offset wells.
Competency of formations.
Type of formations and abrasiveness.
Location of permeable formations.
Location and severity of washout sections.
Wellbore stability concerns.
Drilling mud type (OBM, WBM).
Define maximum bottomhole temperature.
Type of bottom hole assembly.
Type of stabilizers.
Casing running practices.
Discuss with the production engineer zonal isolation issues
or concerns.
If available, discuss results from micro-seismic.
Consider formation pressure windows and ECD concerns
during cementing.
Define cementing objectives.

BALANCING COMPETING FORCES

Centralizer OD: improves stand-off but increases drag.
Centralization at mid-span: improves mud removal but allows
couplings to increase drag.
Installation over coupling: reduces drag but reduces removal of
excess mud cake (differential pressure sticking).
Installation over coupling: reduces drag but reduces stand-off.
Higher restoring forces: better stand-off but higher stiffness.
Semi-rigid centralizers: higher restoring forces but lower
performance in washouts.
Polymer centralizers: lower coefficient of friction but lower
wear resistance.
Fixed to casing: overcomes drag but increases torque.
Spiral blades: promote fluid agitation but bulldoze cuttings.
Straight blades: reduced drag but less bridging effect.
Two smaller centralizers versus one larger centralizer.
Stop collars: improve positioning but take longer to install.
Floating installation: easier reciprocation but less mud removal.
Blade count: higher stability but lower flow by area.
Analyze development of side forces during casing run and define centralizer types accordingly
(check shallow doglegs).
