The objective was to assess the viability of utilizing red mud as a sustainable substitute in cement mixtures while ensuring the quality of the final product. The investigation included a comprehensive...

... Abstract Accurate determination of the top of cement is critical for the success of oil well cementing operations. The American Petroleum Institute (API) free water test is a standard procedure designed to assess the free water content in cement slurries. However, this study reveals significant...

A cement formulation with 9% compressible carbon by volume was found to be stable and have controllable performance properties such as thickening time, fluid loss and free water.A control slurry without compressible carbon was designed and tested for comparison.Both the benchtop and pilot-scale tests...

... of base fluid and a mixing order which leads to a question of capability of existing cementing equipment to handle the geopolymer slurries. In order to validate mixability and pumpability of geopolymer slurry, a yard test had been conducted in order to test geopolymer formulations with two densities, 15...

... of these gravel packs are pumped with no positive pump pressure as the positive u-tube pressure of the additional hydrostatic weight of the slurry in the work string is higher than the overall friction pressure in the system. This effect can have a significant impact on the job execution in several ways...

... of the tubing string, which could cause the slurry to pack off before enough volume had been placed to seal perforations. This tubing was planned to be left in the well during the abandonment, but if the well were to be returned to production, the sealant plug could easily be washed over, and the tubing could...

.... The proppant can then be detected using standard neutron-logging tools, at any time during the well's life. By incorporating small volumes of this detectible proppant into the cement slurry, the cement can then be detected using the same logging tools. This leads to identification of the top of cement, as well...

... industry practice to prevent fluid migration, slurry designs should be gas tight. To avoid unwanted wellbore fluids to migrate to surface, two things are required: less time to initiate migration and the lack of a flow path. With analysis of the current cement slurries, designs were unable to perform...
