running squeeze

1. n. [Well Workover and Intervention]

A cement-squeeze technique in which the cement slurry is continuously injected until the desired squeeze pressure is achieved. When pumping stops, the final squeeze pressure is monitored. If the pressure falls, additional slurry is squeezed to increase the pressure back to the final squeeze value. This process is repeated until the final squeeze pressure can be sustained.
