Abstract:
A method and apparatus for filling an annulus between a wellbore and a casing string with cement are provided. A baffle is arranged between a port on a side of the casing string and an interior volume of the casing string. The baffle includes orifices arranged there around that distribute the flow of cement about the circumference. After the cement has been pumped, a sealing sleeve is moved over the baffle and the port and forms a metal-to-metal seal that isolates the baffle and the port from the interior volume of the casing string.
