Abstract The overall liner cementing qualification rate is only 40% in Agadem block of Niger, The cement slurry system used in the field has a UCA transition time of 43min, and an expansion rate of -0.03% in 24h, which result in a poor anti-gas channeling performance. The expansive agent and the anti-gas channeling toughening agent of anti-channeling agent were optimized through experiment study. A novel micro-expansion anti-gas channel cement slurry system which is suitable for Agadem block was obtained through experiment optimization study: 100% G +2 ∼ 4% fluid loss agent +3 ∼ 4.5% anti-channeling agent +1 ∼ 2% expansion agent-100S +0.15 ∼ 0.4% retarder +0 ∼ 0.3% dispersant +0 ∼ 0.25% defoamer + water. This new cement system has a good anti-gas channeling performance, the cement strength is 24.5-35.0MPa after 24hrs, the UCA transition time is 16-18min, and the expansion rate is 1.5-1.7%. At the same time, a cementing prepad fluid suitable for the block and the micro-expansion cement slurry system is selected to ensure the performance of the cement slurry's anti-channeling performance. The field test results proofs the good performance of the new cement system. The cementing qualification rate of Koulele W-5 well is 96%, and the second interface cementation is Good. The cementing qualification rate of Trakes CN-1 well is 100% which second interface cementation is Excellent. This paper has positive guidance and reference for cementing in Agadem block.

The application of nanomaterials in oil and gas fields development has solved many problems and pushed forward the development of petroleum engineering technology. Nanomaterials have also been used in wellbore fluids. Nanomaterials with special properties can play an important role in improving the strength and flexibility of mud cake, reducing friction between the drill string and wellbore and maintaining wellbore stability. Adding nanomaterials into the cement slurry can eliminate gas channeling through excellent zonal isolation and improve the cementing strength of cement stone, thereby facilitating the protection and discovery of reservoirs and enhancing the oil and gas recovery. This paper tracks the application progress of nanomaterials in wellbore fluids in oil and gas fields in recent years, including drilling fluids, cement slurries. Through the tracking and analysis of this paper, it is concluded that the applications of nanomaterials in wellbore fluids in oil and gas fields show a huge potential and can improve the performance of wellbore fluids.

The fluid loss control additive plays a key role in reducing reservoir damage and improving the cementing quality of an oil well. Aiming at good fluid loss control ability and excellent dispersibility, a new dispersive type fluid loss control additive was synthesized through orthogonal experiment with 2-acrylamido-2- methyl propane sulfonic acid, acrylamide, N, N-dimethylacrylamide and maleic anhydride. The orthogonal experiment result shows that the influence on the properties of FLCA decreases in the order: PH value > monomer concentration > monomer mole ratio > initiator concentration > temperature. The result indicates that the optimal conditions for FLCA were 4/2.5/2.5/1 of mole ratio of AMPS/AM /NNDMA/MA, 32.5% total monomer concentration in deionized water, 1.0% (by weight of monomer) ammonium persulfate/sodium bisulfite, 4 of PH value, 40°Cof temperature. The synthesized copolymer was identified by FTIR analysis. The results show the dispersive type fluid loss control additive has excellent dispersibility, fluid loss control ability, thermal resistant and salt tolerant ability. As the temperature increases, the thickening time of the slurry containing the synthesized additive reduces. The copolymer is expected to be a good fluid loss control additive.

AbstractIn this article, incorporation of nano-SiO2 (NS), nano-TiO2 (NT) and nano-Al2O3 (NA) particles and their binary and ternary blends on water filtration in oil-well cement slurry was examined. The nanoparticle contents were chosen at proportions corresponding to 1, 2, 3 and 4% based on the weight of cement. The experimental specimens were tested at three various temperatures of 70, 80 and 90 °C using a gas pressure of 1000 psi. The quantity of water filtrate collected was measured in milliliter (mL) at 30 min after the test begins. The results consistently indicate that an additional of NS, NT and NA particles independently, reduced the loss of liquid in cement, and its performance varies with temperature and the nanoparticle dosages. The 3% NS usage delivered strong evidence in lessening fluid loss compared to the other results by reducing the loss up to 72%. When collective impact of nanomaterials was determined, the fluid retainment was also improved. The replacement of 4% NST reduced fluid loss by the most compared to NSA and NTA binary groups. In-case of ternary combination, NSTA showed a highest reduction of the water loss by 58–60% likened to the plain samples at the concentration of 4%. The key investigation of this paper clearly suggested that the efficacy of Class G cement having nanoparticles to trap its water is dependent on the nanoparticle contents. The lessening of water filtration might be explicated by the filling capability of nano-scale particles. Nanoparticles can plug the openings within the oil-well cement slurry matrix, thus promoting the retainability of water. Besides, nanoparticles quickens the hydration products by creating dense interlocking C–S–H gels for bridging cement grains and forming enclosed structure which can stop the liquid from escaping the slurry.

Abstract High performance cement slurry polymer modifiers are increasingly in demand in the cementing process of oil and gas. A new polymer modifier with outstanding fluid loss control and high strength and toughness was synthesized by the main monomers butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), acrylamide (AM), the functional monomers vinyltriethoxysilane (VTS), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and the initiator of ammonium persulfate (APS) through emulsion polymerization. By using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, a laser particle analyzer, a scanning electron microscope and a differential scanning calorimeter, we studied the mechanism of fluid loss control and microstructure of polymer latex cement slurries. The experimental results showed that the copolymer could be crosslinked at 160°C and have the lowest fluid loss control, 12 ml, when the polymer content reached 5%. Acrylate latex modified by the silane coupling agent VTS had excellent performance on fluid loss control, as well as mechanical properties for oil well cement. These results have a potential significant value for the development of a new polymer cement modifier with high thermal stability and durability.

A novel amphoteric polymer TH-1 was synthesized using the monomers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, acrylic acid, acrylamide, and cationic monomer through radical copolymerization as filtrate loss reducer in oil well cementing. Optimal synthesis conditions of TH-1 were obtained by an orthogonal experiment. The composition of copolymer (TH-1) was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectrum and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the synthesized copolymer was tested by thermogravimetric analysis. The fluid loss (FL) control and thickening performance of cement slurry incorporating TH-1 were evaluated at different temperatures. The filtration reduction mechanism of TH-1 was finally discussed. Results suggest that the amphoteric polymer is the target product polymerized by all the monomers, which presents excellent filtrate reduction property, high thermal stability, and strong saline tolerance under 200°C. The amphoteric polymer TH-1 includes cationic and anionic group in a molecule structure, which can adsorb firmly onto the surface of cement particles through electrostatic attraction and form adsorption membrane of viscoelastic polymer. In this way, compact cement filter cakes are formed, thereby efficiently reducing the FL.

With the exploration of oil and gas in depth, shallow wells already can’t satisfy the requirement, therefore to explore and develop deep reservoirs is necessary. In the case of deep wells the loop temperature of bottom can reach to 150°C-200°C, which put forward a higher requirement for the high temperature resistance property of cement slurry. At present, many problems existed in the most of high temperature cement slurry. For example, high temperature resistance is not well, cement thickening time can’t adjust easily, mega-thermal sedimentation stability is unsatisfactory, and ultra-retarding phenomenon appeared for the top prone. After research indoors, we developed the ultra-high temperature slurry system by means of the investigation on cementing additives and select proper materials from high temperature resistant fluid loss additives, retarders, flowable agent at the same time. This system needs a lots of properties, such as, adjustable slurry thickening time below 200°C, great slurry sedimentation stability, API loss can be controlled at the range of 0-50ml, insensitive to temperature and density, could be used in low-density and conventional density cement etc. This system be used successfully in the well that loop temperature of bottom reaches to 185°C and get a good effect finally.
