For hesitation squeeze tests, select “Hesitation Test” on and set the
following parameters. The graph below represents a hesitation squeeze
test with the parameters labeled.
a. Motor On Time: The amount of time (in minutes) the motor is on
during a squeeze.
b. Motor Off Time: The amount of time (in minutes) the motor is off
during a squeeze.
c. Number of Cycles: The number of on/off cycles the motor will go
through. Enter 0 to have the cycles continue innitely.
If the cycles are complete before the other steps, the motor will
continue at 150 RPM until the end of the test.
d. Surface Retention Time - This is a time period before the test
begins. The motor will be on but the heater and pressure will be
off. This will simulate the time cement waits on the surface before
being sent downhole. During this period, the timer on the onboard
control panel will start at a negative value and count up to 0.
e. Starting Temp: The starting temperature of the test. The test does
not begin until the temperature is at or above this level. Enter
“0” to start the test immediately.
f. Time to Squeeze Temp: The amount of time (in minutes) the test
will take to heat the slurry to the Squeeze Temperature.
