This paper describes the quality improvement process hnd the results that have been obtained by a multidisciplinary team functioning in Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI). This team was formed in 1991 due to the high frequency and cost of squeeze cementing on new wells. The efforts of this team have helped reduce the overall squeeze frequency from about 50% to about 10% of new wells. This improvement will reduce CPIs new well cost by about 10 million dollars per year. This saving is a result of efforts to,do thc cement jobs right the first time, thus eliminating thc need to fix wells by squeeze cementing.
