Method for continuously batch mixing a cement slurry
First Claim
1. A method for continuously batch mixing a homogenized cement slurry comprising:
- providing first and second mix tubs which each perform a process comprising;
receiving a measured quantity of solid and liquid constituents of a cement mixture, mixing the solid and liquid constituents of the cement mixture into a homogenized cement slurry, and delivering the homogenized cement slurry to a pumping system; and
wherein the first and second mix tubs alternate said delivering processes in a synchronized manner such that one of the first and the second mix tubs continually delivers its corresponding homogenized cement slurry to the pumping system.

Abstract
A method for continuously batch mixing a homogenized cement slurry is provided that includes providing first and second mix tubs which each perform a process which include: receiving a measured quantity of solid and liquid constituents of a cement mixture; mixing the solid and liquid constituents of the cement mixture into a homogenized cement slurry; and delivering the homogenized cement slurry into a well. In this method, the first and second mix tubs alternate these delivering processes in a synchronized manner such that one of the first and the second mix tubs continually delivering its corresponding homogenized cement slurry to a well pumping system.

18. A method for continuously batch mixing a homogenized cement slurry comprising:
-
providing first and second mix tubs which each perform a process comprising; receiving a measured quantity of solid and liquid constituents of a cement mixture, mixing the solid and liquid constituents of the cement mixture into a homogenized cement slurry, and delivering the homogenized cement slurry to a pumping system; and wherein the first and second mix tubs alternate said delivering processes in a synchronized manner such that one of the first and the second mix tubs continually delivers its corresponding homogenized cement slurry until a desired quantity of homogenized cement slurry has been pumped from the pumping system to a well; and wherein after said desired quantity of homogenized cement slurry has been pumped from the pumping system to the well, a measured quantity of displacement fluid is delivered from the mix tubs to the pumping system.
