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.

Carbon dioxide CO2could corrode the oil well cement paste matrix under agreeable moisture and pressure condition in deep oil wells, which could decrease the compressive strength and damage the annular seal reliability of cement paste matrix. The problem of oil well cement paste matrix corrosion by CO2was researched in the paper for obtain the feasible corrosion prevention technical measures. The microstructure and compressive strength of corroded cement paste matrix were examined by scanning electron microscopeSEMand strength test instrument etc. under different corrosion conditions. The mechanism and effect law of corrosion on oil well cement paste matrix by CO2were analyzed. And the suitable method to protect CO2corrosion in deep oil wells was explored. The results show that the corrosion mechanism of cement paste matrix by CO2was that the wetting phase CO2could generate chemical reaction with original hydration products produced from cement hydration, which CaCO3were developed and the original composition and microstructure of cement paste matrix were destroyed. The compressive strength of corrosion cement paste matrix always was lower than that of un-corrosion cement paste matrix. The compressive strength of corrosion cement paste matrix decreased with increase of curing temperature and differential pressure. The corroded degree of cement paste matrix was intimately related with the compositions of cement slurry. Developing and design anti-corrosive cement slurry should base on effectively improving the compact degree and original strength of cement paste matrix. The compounding additive R designed in the paper could effectively improve the anti-corrosive ability of cement slurry.

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.

The compressive strength of oil well cement would be damaged by high temperature in deep oil wells, which was caused by the obvious change of the components and microstructure of cement hydration products. The adaptability of common oil well cement for cementing under higher temperatures was confined by above reasons. Characteristics of development and change of compressive strength of Class G oil well cement were studied under different temperatures by using Static Gel Strength Analyzer and High Temperature-High Pressure curing chamber. The influence law of temperature and silica sands on compressive strength was analyzed. The results showed that the critical temperatures at which the compressive strength begun to decline were about 110°C and 150°C respectively; The compressive strength increased with curing time during the initial period and would reduced after it reached a certain value when temperature exceeded 110°C; For cement with silica sands, the compressive strength development trend was in the shape of two-stage form with increase of curing time within the range of 110~150°C, but for 160~200°C temperature range the development form was in the shape of single stage; The reasonable amounts of silica sands which would be added to cement slurry to enhance the compressive strength of hardening paste were determined to be 30%~40%.

Oil well cement is a type of natural brittle material that cannot be used directly in cementing operations. Fiber is a type of material that can effectively improve the strength and toughness of cement stone, and hybrid fiber materials can more effectively improve the performance of a cement sample. To overcome the natural defects of oil well cement, the new mineral fiber, i.e., wollastonite fiber, and common carbon fiber were used in oil well cement, and the micromorphology, mechanical properties, and stress-strain behavior of the cement were evaluated. The experimental results show that carbon fiber and wollastonite fiber are randomly distributed in the cement paste. The mechanical properties of the cement paste are improved by bridging and pulling out. The compressive strength, flexural strength, and impact strength of cement stone containing only carbon fiber or wollastonite fiber are higher than those of the pure cement, but too many fibers are not conducive to the development of mechanical properties. A mixture of 0.3% carbon fiber with 6% wollastonite fiber in oil well cement slurry results in a greater increase in compressive strength, flexural strength, and impact strength. In addition, compared with blank cement stone, the strain of the mixed cement stone increases substantially, and the elastic modulus decreases by 37.8%. The experimental results supply technical support for the design of a high-performance cement slurry system.

The influences of KCl on the performance of G-Grade oil-well cement are discussed in this article. The macro performances including the rheological property, filter loss of slurry and the thickening time, strength and shrinkage of cement are tested. And the reasons why those influence could happen are explained by analyzing the microscopic structure of the cement. The results show that: KCl takes participation in hydration reaction of cement, KAlSiO3 and Ca4Al2H0.34O6.34Cl1.67 are generated in the reaction that could improve the compressive strength of the cement and reduce the shrinkage of the cement, but there is a limited added amount, less than 12% (BWOW) is the best.

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.
