Case Study Cement Stress - Modeling Results CHALLENGE Efficiently predict stress level of set cement under various events of temperature and pressure changes. SOLUTION Compare simulation results with published SPE results and leading edge finite element analysis (FEA) software. RESULTS Closely matching results between CEMLife, SPE paper and ANSYS predictions were found. Pegasus Vertex, Inc.’s Cement Stress Model, CEMLife, uses analytical method to analyze 3 types of failure modes (traction, compression, micro-annulus) of cement sheath under various temperature conditions and pressure changes. It balances the accuracy of a full-scale finite element model and the speed of simulation. It performs calculation on the impact of 8 different parameters to quickly achieve the slurry op
