The use of simulation software applicable to the various stages of petroleum engineering facilitates decision-making and, at the same time, minimizes possible failures, problems, and incidents during each well intervention. In addition, a computer tool provides the user with instant and accurate results that can be used during personnel training and higher education. The objective of the present work was to develop an open-source computational tool with a graphical, numerical, and schematic interface to facilitate the teaching and learning of operations related to primary cementing. The tool considers four sections: (a) wellbore diagram, (b) identification of the relation between volumetry and the geometric design of the well, (c) integration of the mechanical state with the number of intervals, slurry design, and operating characteristics of the pumps, and (d) the wellbore diagram integrated by drilling, displacement and slurry fluids, according to each of the cementing stages. Among the results, it was combined programming with specialized technical and scientific material, considering academic and field experience characteristics. The program is a versatile tool that integrates the general mechanical state and each of the five stages with a maximum depth of 5,000 m.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue desarrollar una herramienta computacional de código abierto con una interfaz gráfica, numérica y esquemática para facilitar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de operaciones relacionadas con la cementación primaria. La herramienta considera cuatro secciones: (a) diagrama de pozo, (b) identificación de la relación entre volumetría y diseño geométrico del pozo, (c) integración del estado mecánico con el número de intervalos, diseño de lechada y características operativas del pozo. las bombas, y (d) el diagrama de pozo integrado por los fluidos de perforación, desplazamiento y lodo, según cada una de las etapas de cementación. Entre los resultados, se combinó programación con material técnico y científico especializado, considerando características académicas y de experiencia de campo. El programa es una herramienta versátil que integra el estado mecánico general y cada una de las cinco etapas con una profundidad máxima de 5.000 m.
