A proper slurry design is critical to cementing work success. In the present investigation, a ball mill method was utilized for preparing a nano powder from a cement dust material, supplied via Al-Kufa Cement Factory, to reinforce the oil well cement by utilizing it as a partial replacement of oil well cement class (G) using different weight percentages (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%). A mixture having water to cement ratio of (0.44) was produced. The produced samples characterizations were achieved via the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) as well as the density and compressive strength. Results showed that the structural characteristics were enhanced with the phase formation of the calcium silicate hydration (C-S-H), and both density and compressive strength were improved. Accordingly, obtained results suggest that the modified cement is suitable for the oil well uses.

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.

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.

To adequately understand the waterborne epoxy resin and enhance the compressive, tensile strength of oil-well cement stone, the cement composite materials were prepared with different addition of waterborne epoxy resin, and the specimens were cured for 3days, 7 days, 14days, 28days at 50°C thermostatic water bath to test the compressive strength and tensile strength, respectively. The results showed when the content of resin emulsion is 30%, the compressive strength and tensile strength of the cement are increased by 303.09% and 306.04% compared with pure cement, respectively. Obviously, in the mechanical performance testing, oil-well cement stone modified by waterborne epoxy resin have been significantly improved compared with the pure cement. To explore the enhanced microstructure of oil-well cement modified with waterborne epoxy resin, the cement specimens were prepared with 30% waterborne epoxy resin analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

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.

Cement is an important part in oil and gas well completion. A high quality of cement is required to seal hydraulic pressure between casing and borehole formation. Cement additives were used to enhance the cement properties such as thickening time, compressive strength, porosity and permeability of the cement. Currently, the commercial additives were imported and the price is keep increasing year by year. Therefore, the researchers were continuously looking for potential additives such as nanoparticle to improve the cement properties. This paper presents the effect nanosilica on compressive strength and porosity of oil well cement type G. In this study, two type of nanosilica were used, synthesis nanosilica from rice husk ash (RHA) and commercial nanosilica. The synthesized nanosilica was characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray flouresece (XRF) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). All the experiments were conducted using API standard procedures and specifications. Based on the results, compressive strength of cement slurries was improved from 2600 psi to 2800 psi for 8-hours curing, when the amount of nanosilica increased from 0 wt% to 1.5 wt%. Besides that, incorporation of nanosilica from RHA into cement formulation resulted in reduction of cement porosity up to 18 % pore volume. Overall, the results showed that the incorporation of nanosilica from RHA improved the oil well cement compressive strength and oil well cement porosity. In conclusion, green nanosilica from RHA can be a potential candidate to replace the commercial nanosilica to enhance the oil well cement properties as well as to prevent the migration of undesirable fluid which can lead to major blowout.

On the basis of analyzing the oil well cement corrosion mechanism by SO42- and HCO3-, the corrosion products, microstructure and compressive strength of cement stone were measured and the changing regularity and influence factors of compressive strength were analyzed under different experimental conditions. The following conclusions can be drawn. Under the interactive corrosion effect of SO42- and HCO3-, Ca(OH)2 in cement stone was dissolved out and consumed, the calcium silicate hydrate was decomposed, ettringite, gypsum, calcite and thaumasite were produced which destroyed the structure and components of cement stone primary products and led the compressive strength of corrosion cement stone decline. With the increases of ion concentration of corrosive solution, temperature and corrosive time, the compressive strength was decreased gradually, even collapsed completely.
