Liner cementation process and system

1. A process, comprising:

running a cementation assembly into a well on drill pipe;

engaging, with a distal end of the cementation assembly, a liner top assembly of a liner string that is downhole in the well, wherein the liner string was previously positioned downhole in the well without being cemented into the well;

latching the cementation assembly with the liner string such that movement of the cementation assembly is translated to the liner string, wherein latching the cementation assembly with the liner string comprises activating a latch on a tie back seal stem shoe of the cementation assembly to engage a casing profile nipple of the liner string;

flowing cement through the drill pipe and into the liner string; and

moving the cementation assembly and the liner string during the flowing of cement.

2. The process or claim 1 , wherein moving the cementation assembly and the liner string comprises reciprocating and/or rotating the cementation assembly and the liner string.

3. The process of claim 1 , comprising:

passing a drill pipe dart (DPD) through the drill pipe into engagement with a liner wiper plug (LWP) of the cementation assembly such that the DPD and LWP form a DPD/LWP assembly;

passing the DPD/LWP assembly through the liner string;

engaging a capture feature of the liner string with the DPD/LWP assembly such that an isolation mechanism is established; and

pressurizing the cementation assembly by pressuring against the isolation mechanism such that a liner hanger expansion tool of the cementation assembly is activated by the pressure and hangs the cementation assembly and the liner string within a parent casing.

4. The process of claim 1 , comprising maneuvering the cementation assembly and the liner string to disengage a liner hanger of the liner string from a parent casing.

5. The process of claim 1 , comprising positioning the liner string downhole during a casing-while-drilling procedure, activating a liner hanger such that the liner string is held in place and coupled to a parent casing, and removing a bottom hole assembly from the well.

6. The process of claim 1 , wherein latching the cementation assembly with the liner string comprises activating a mechanical latch or a hydraulic latch.

7. The process of claim 1 , wherein latching the cementation assembly with the liner string comprises activating a latch on the cementation assembly to engage a liner hanger of the liner string or to engage a separate profile sub.

8. The process of claim 1 , wherein engaging the liner top assembly comprises sliding a seal nipple into a liner hanger of the liner string.

9. The process of claim 1 , comprising activating a liner hanger expansion tool of the cementation assembly to hang the cementation assembly and the liner string within a parent casing.

10. The process of claim 9 , comprising disengaging the drill pipe and a running tool of the cementation assembly from features of the cementation assembly and from the liner string;

sliding a packer setting device uphole relative to the outer features of the cementation assembly such that packer setting dogs are activated; and

setting the packer setting dogs down on the features of the cementation assembly to set a liner top packer of the cementation assembly.

11. The process of claim 1 , comprising disengaging a running tool of the cementation assembly from outer features of the cementation assembly and moving the running tool uphole such that an upward-facing flapper valve and a downward-facing flapper valve are allowed to close.

12. The process of claim 11 , comprising reversing excess cement from a top of the liner through the running tool and the drill pipe.

13. A process, comprising:

running a cementation assembly into a well on drill pipe;

engaging, with a distal end of the cementation assembly, a liner top assembly of a liner string that is downhole in the well, wherein the liner string was previously positioned downhole in the well without being cemented into the well, and wherein engaging the liner top assembly comprises sliding a seal nipple into a liner hanger of the liner string;

latching the cementation assembly with the liner string such that movement of the cementation assembly is translated to the liner string;

flowing cement through the drill pipe and into the liner string; and

moving the cementation assembly and the liner string during the flowing of cement.

14. A process, comprising:

running a cementation assembly into a well on drill pipe;

engaging, with a distal end of the cementation assembly, a liner top assembly of a liner string that is downhole in the well, wherein the liner string was previously positioned downhole in the well without being cemented into the well;

latching the cementation assembly with the liner string such that movement of the cementation assembly is translated to the liner string;

flowing cement through the drill pipe and into the liner string;

moving the cementation assembly and the liner string during the flowing of cement;

passing a drill pipe dart (DPD) through the drill pipe into engagement with a liner wiper plug (LWP) of the cementation assembly such that the DPD and LWP form a DPD/LWP assembly;

passing the DPD/LWP assembly through the liner string;

engaging a capture feature of the liner string with the DPD/LWP assembly such that an isolation mechanism is established; and

pressurizing the cementation assembly by pressuring against the isolation mechanism such that a liner hanger expansion tool of the cementation assembly is activated by the pressure and hangs the cementation assembly and the liner string within a parent casing.

15. A process, comprising:

running a cementation assembly into a well on drill pipe;

engaging, with a distal end of the cementation assembly, a liner top assembly of a liner string that is downhole in the well, wherein the liner string was previously positioned downhole in the well without being cemented into the well;

latching the cementation assembly with the liner string such that movement of the cementation assembly is translated to the liner string;

flowing cement through the drill pipe and into the liner string;

moving the cementation assembly and the liner string during the flowing of cement;

activating a liner hanger expansion tool of the cementation assembly to hang the cementation assembly and the liner string within a parent casing;

disengaging the drill pipe and a running tool of the cementation assembly from features of the cementation assembly and from the liner string;

sliding a packer setting device uphole relative to the outer features of the cementation assembly such that packer setting dogs are activated; and

setting the packer setting dogs down on the features of the cementation assembly to set a liner top packer of the cementation assembly.

16. A process, comprising:

running a cementation assembly into a well on drill pipe;

engaging, with a distal end of the cementation assembly, a liner top assembly of a liner string that is downhole in the well, wherein the liner string was previously positioned downhole in the well without being cemented into the well;

latching the cementation assembly with the liner string such that movement of the cementation assembly is translated to the liner string;

flowing cement through the drill pipe and into the liner string;

moving the cementation assembly and the liner string during the flowing of cement; and

disengaging a running tool of the cementation assembly from outer features of the cementation assembly and moving the running tool uphole such that an upward-facing flapper valve and a downward-facing flapper valve are allowed to close.

17. The process of claim 1 , comprising reversing excess cement from a top of the liner through the running tool and the drill pipe.
