ABSTRACT:
A displacement plug injection apparatus and manifold for sequentially injecting cementing plugs into the casing in an oil or gas well to reduce contamination of the interface between the well fluid and the cement, which apparatus includes an injection manifold for injecting pick-up balls into the fluid stream which pass through an inlet port in the casing to selectively pick-up cement displacement plugs in a plug set which are suspended or held in place with in the casing to be cemented. A positive mechanical indication of the injection of each pick-up ball is apparent and in adition a secondary magnetic sensor indicates a passage of a pick-up ball into the throat provided above the set of displacement plugs to indicate the beginning of the launch of each plug in the plug set. Also disclosed is a new and improved check valve apparatus for use in float collars and cementing shoes used in casing cementing operations.
