Shoe Bond Test

Dear members,

We'd like your thoughts on Shoe Bond Tests (SBT). This is a separate test conducted AFTER drilling out the casing shoe-track, but before drilling a small section of new hole and the subsequent LOT/FIT.

1. Are there any regulations that require this?e.g. NORSOK.
2. If so, what do they say?

We've have only ever come across a SBT at a particularly old-fashioned oil company.  

It seems like a waste of time and money.

Thoughts / feedback and (especially) experience are welcomed.

Thanks and kind regards

Dave
