Abstract

A method for preventing undesired cement flow in a well containing a tubing string, comprises: determining a desired pressure drop for a desired flow rate at a desired location in the tubing string, determining a flow area that will cause the desired pressure drop, and installing in the tubing string a choke having at least one port, wherein the total area of the port or ports equals the desired flow area. The choke may include at least two ports, one of which may include a least one rupture disk disposed selected to rupture when the pressure drop across the choke exceeds a predetermined value. The choke may be below a float collar in the well. The invention allows the use of foamed cement and in particular foamed cement having a density that is less than the lowest density that could have been used if the choke were not in place.
