ABSTRACT: Wells used for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), for cyclic steam stimulation (CSS), for hydrocarbon production in areas with anomalous high geothermal gradient, or for geothermal energy extraction all are operated in high temperature environments where maintaining long term wellbore integrity is one of the key challenges. Changes in cement mineralogy and associated mechanical properties may critically affect the integrity of high temperature wells. In this study, the relation between changes in mineralogy and mechanical properties of API class G cement with 40% silica flour was investigated by exposing samples for 1-4 weeks to temperatures of 60-420°C. The effect of mineralogical changes on mechanical properties was investigated using a combination of chemical and microstructural analysis and triaxial strength tests at confining pressures of 2-15 MPa. The combined effect of changing porosity, microstructure and strength of mineral phases determines changes in mechanical behavior, in particular the formation of stronger mineral phases with higher density affect Young’s modulus, failure strength and residual strength. Deformation of the cement is more brittle at low confining pressures and more ductile at high confining pressures with a considerable residual strength after failure and highest reduction in cement stiffness and increase in strength at temperatures of ~250°C. high pressure (HP) wells (Enform, 2012; Chartier et al., 2015). For standard curing conditions, hydration of 1.

The product is a mixture of ordered temperature wells include wells used for steam-assisted and disordered phases with C-S-H present as a highly gravity drainage (SAGD) or for cyclic steam stimulation disordered version of the crystalline tobermorite and (CSS), wells drilled in areas with anomalous high jennite phases (Taylor, 1990).

An improved flowability can be achieved by the addition of superplasticizers (SP), such as polycarboxylate ethers (PCE). In order to be able to use these PCEs effectively and in a variety of ways and to make them resistant to changes in the environment, it is crucial to understand the influence of SPs on cement hydration. For that reason, the topic of this paper was the incompatibility of a specific SP and an ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The incompatible behavior was analyzed using rheological tests, such as the spread flow test and penetration test, and the behavior was compared by means of an ultrasound technique and explained by the phase content measured by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) the heat evolution measured by calorimetry, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. We showed that the addition of the SP in a high dosage led to a prevention of the passivation of the most reactive and aluminum-containing clinker phases, aluminate and brownmillerite.

The presence of hydraulic phases such as larnite (2CaO SiO2) could cause dangerous elements to be released into the environment, i.e. Ba, V, Cr. Chemical treatment appears to be the only way to guarantee a completely stable structure, especially for long-term applications. This study presents the efficiency of silica addition during the deslagging period. Microstructural characterization of modified slag was performed by SEM and XRD analysis. Elution tests were performed according to the EN 12457-2 standard, with the addition of silica and without, and the obtained results were compared. These results demonstrate the efficiency of the inertization process: the added silica induces the formation of gehlenite, which, even in caustic environments, does not exhibit hydraulic behaviour.

Through orthogonal design tests and single-factor tests, this paper evaluated the effects of the water/solid mass ratio (w/s), gypsum ratio (G/SS), molding pressure, and curing duration on uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and CO2 uptake of the compacts. The results indicated that high w/s enhanced both strength and CO2 capture ability. The proper addition of gypsum helps promote UCS increase and CO2 uptake of steel slag. In addition, increasing the molding pressure can significantly improve UCS without reducing CO2 uptake. The optimum conditions in the study were a w/s of 0.20, G/SS of 1/16, and molding pressure of 27 MPa, under which conditions 1 d UCS and CO2 uptake were 55.30 MPa and 12.36%, respectively. Microanalyses showed that gypsum activates mainly mayenite in steel slag. An increase in water addition also increased the hydration and carbonation products greatly, and the strengthened molding pressure had a significant densification effect on micro-pore structures.
