Great....now how do we get the lye down there? Remembering that there is x' of casing sitting in the rotary table, so that you are unable to run drillpipe.

The only way would be with coiled tubing, which wasn't around then, or with a slick line dump bailer. Any way you cut it, there is well control exposure and an excellent chance of stuck casing and a poor cement job.

By the way, I've pumped many a cement job and installed many a wellhead and I've never allowed the floor hands to walk around without their hard hat on - the safety guys would go bananas, justifyably. Hand tools...now that's different. Everything close to the well gets a tag line attached to it, just in case.

Regards,

Aggie
