Research and development of combined universal cement mortar admixture

Abstract

Due to the wide variety of drilling and cementing conditions, different grades of cements for different conditions need to be produced by factories. Nowadays, with the development of test methods and techniques, additional materials and substances, the trend has been to focus on some basic cement (base), which, with various additional substances or materials, can be modified according to the conditions of use. According to the technology adopted in Schlumberger, two portions of cement slurry are mainly used for the entire length of the annulus “lead” and “tail” i.e. literally the “leader” (the first portion) and the “tail’ (the second, last portion). Of course, the treatment of these portions with chemical reagents is different, and the first portion is several times larger in volume than the second portion. It is known that as a result of unsuccessful cementing, a gas-water-oil show may appear, leading to the removal of casing strings, fire, etc. As a result, this leads to the abandonment of the well. There is a time difference between the mixing of the first and subsequent portions of dry cement, especially the last ones, since while the subsequent portions of dry cement are just being mixed, the freshest ones have not yet been mixed at all, but the first portions are already finished; this portion of cement slurry in the well gradually begins to thicken under the influence of temperature and pressure. An effective reagent is needed. The optimal composition of the combined reagent should be considered as follows: CMC – 0.2%; FLS – 0.4%; Na2CO3 – 0.05%.
