Abstract
A casing string is cemented in a borehole of a well. The cement is prepared by introducing water and dry cement material into a mixing vessel. The water and dry cement material are mixed in the mixing vessel to form a cement slurry. The mixing is accomplished by agitating the slurry to cause the slurry to circulate within the vessel, and while agitating the slurry, transmitting vibrational energy into the slurry and thereby aiding in the wetting of the dry cement material in the slurry. This also aids in removing entrained air from the slurry. The slurry is then pumped into an annulus between the casing string and the borehole.
