Study the effect of MgO fineness on Cement slurry and set cement properties

Abstract

This research aims to study the effect of MgO fineness on cement slurry and set cement properties. It has experimentally been found, that adding fine MgO with specific surface (3200 cm2/g) to Portland cement allocated to the Syrian wells by weight percentage (2-4)% gives good mechanical properties to the set cement compared with the course MgO with Specific Surface (2800 cm2/g). Results of this research are useful for improving the quality of oil well cement, and increase the production lifetime of oil wells.
