The pr imary goals of the annular cement sheath in wells are zonal isolation, sup porting the casings and protecting them from corrosion. The cement sheath must withstand downhole stresses induced by pressure and temperature fluct uations, as well as corrosive attacks from aggressive formation and inject ion fluids (such as the CO2 floods used extensively throughout the Permian Basin) without failures during the life of well (ideally including after abandonment). \r\n\r\nCement sheath failures leading to loss of zonal isol ation are the biggest concerns since they affect the wellbore integrity an d so the life of the well with economic consequences: decline in productio n, loss of production time because of remedial cementing, and in the worst case even complete well failure/collapse and well abandonment. Therefore, it is critically important to design cement systems that counteract all n egative impacts on the sheath integrity during the life of the well, to en sure maximal durability. Synthetic and resin-based binders provide high ch emical resistance and good mechanical properties in the well, but conventi onal cement is still preferred because of its economic and practical advan tages and its ready availability. \r\n\r\nHarsh wellbore conditions (corro sive environments combined with high temperatures and pressures) have been always challenging for scientists and engineers developing improved cemen t systems. Early cement technology progress was based on empirical discove ries, but the advances have become more scientific in the last few decades due to improved analytic methods as well as the demand from the industry to develop more effective, economical and sustainable systems. We have a m uch better understanding of physical and chemical interactions among miner als during cement hydration, the impact of additives and secondary cementi tious materials, and the mechanisms of cement corrosion. This knowledge ha s been fundamental to achieving the goal of economical cement systems for corrosive environments that perform for the full life of a well.\n\n--- Th is iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to chan ge. ---\r\n\r\n--- By Tendenci - The Open Source AMS for Associations ---\ r\n UID:uid1321@spegcs.org SUMMARY:Permian Basin: Cementing Solutions for CO2 and Other Corrosive Environments DTSTART:20091012T163000Z DTEND:20091012T180000Z CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20240328T105923Z TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION:Westlake Club X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
