This study evaluates the wellbore shear bond strength of oil-well cement pastes containing nano-SiO2 and nano-TiO2 particles with an average of 20 ± 5 nm particle sizes. The nanoparticles were selected by weight of cement at proportions equivalent to 1, 2, 3 and 4%. The findings demonstrated that nanoparticles significantly increased the shear bond strength, and the strength increase was dependent on the nanoparticle types, dosage and curing period of the specimens. Due to effective pozzolanic activity, nano-SiO2 provided higher shear bond strength compared to nano-TiO2. The specimens containing 3% nano-SiO2 cured for 28 days displayed the utmost shear bond strength results (0.553 MPa). The optimal replacement dosage was 3% for all nanoparticles. The particle type did not affect the optimum nanoparticles replacement content. To examine the influence of nanoparticles on cement-formation bonding, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric technique were used.

One of the critical factors of cementing process in oil drilling of off-shore-project is designing the cement slurry. For this reason, the slurry properties which have been classified by American Petroleum Institute (API) should be changed so it will match with the requirement of reservoir condition. Changing the slurry properties can be done by adding the additive material into the cement slurry such as Calcium Carbonate and Silica Fume. The research objective is to study the effect of calcium carbonate and silica fume to the compressive and shear bond strength of oil well cement. Fourty five cylinder specimens with the size of (75 x 150) mm were made for compressive strength testing and fourty five cylinder specimens with the size of (25.4 x 50.8) mm were made for shear bond strength testing. Five variants of the specimen were made in this study. The variant were cement slurry with (0% Calcium Carbonate + 0 % Silica Fume) as a reference specimen; (5% Calcium Carbonate + 5 % Silica Fume); (10% Calcium Carbonate + 10 % Silica Fume); (15% Calcium Carbonate + 15 % Silica Fume); (20% Calcium Carbonate + 20 % Silica Fume). The oil well cement specimens were tested in 7, 14, and 28 days. The experimental results show that the compressive strength of oil well cement will decrease when it is added with calcium carbonate and silica fume. The shear bond strength of the oil well cement increases for the specimen with 5 % Calcium Carbonate + 5 % Silica Fume. However, the shear bond strength will decrease when content of the Calcium Carbonate + Silica Fume more than 5 %. Based on the result of this research, the optimum amount of calcium carbonate and silica fume that can be use is 5%, because with 5% of calcium carbonate and 5% of silica fume, the reducing of compressive strength is the smallest and the shear bond strength is increased compare to the others specimen with 10%, 15%, and 20% calcium carbonate and silica fume.

In this paper, the resistance to H2S attack of pastes made from slag-fly ash blended cement used in oil well (SFAOW) was studied, in which fly ash (FA) was used at replacement dosages of 30% to 60% by weight of slag. Samples of SCOW and SFAOW pastes were demoulded and cured by immersion in fresh water with 2 Mp H2S insulfflation under 130oC for 15 days. After this curing period, compression strength and permeability of the samples were investigated. The reaction mechanisms of H2S with the paste were carried out through a microstructure study, which included the use of x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the obtained data in this study, incorporation of FA into SCOW results in the comparable effects in the resistance to H2S attack. When the replacement dosage of slag is about 40%, the paste exhibits the best performance on resistance to H2S attack with compression strength 36.58Mp.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the resistivity of geopolymer cement with nano-silica additive toward acid exposure for oil well cement application.Design/methodology/approachAn experimental study was conducted to assess the acid resistance of fly ash-based geopolymer cement with nano-silica additive at a concentration of 0 and 1 wt.% to understand its effect on the strength and microstructural development. Geopolymer cement of Class C fly ash and API Class G cement were used. The alkaline activator was prepared by mixing the proportion of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions of 8 M and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) using ratio of 1:2.5 by weight. After casting, the specimens were subjected to elevated curing condition at 3,500 psi and 130°C for 24 h. Durability of cement samples was assessed by immersing them in 15 wt.% of hydrochloric acid and 15 wt.% sulfuric acid for a period of 14 days. Evaluation of its resistance in terms of compressive strength and microstructural behavior were carried out by using ELE ADR 3000 and SEM, respectively.FindingsThe paper shows that geopolymer cement with 1 wt.% addition of nano-silica were highly resistant to sulfuric and hydrochloric acid. The strength increase was contributed by the densification of the microstructure with the addition of nano-silica.Originality/valueThis paper investigates the mechanical property and microstructure behavior of emerging geopolymer cement due to hydrochloric and sulfuric acids exposure. The results provide potential application of fly ash-based geopolymer cement as oil well cementing.
