Type B Cementing Shoe
The IRI Type B Basket Cementing Shoe of casing is employed two ways. First, as both a Shoe to protect the Running-in String even through irregular and deviated holes. Second, a Basket to protect the formations below the shoe from cement contamination in the open hole, in washed out sections, in under-reamed and bell holes and/or in zones determined too weak to support the weight of the cement column alone.
