Aging and Temperature Effects on the Performance of Sustainable One-Part Geopolymers Developed for Well-Cementing Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study elucidates the effects of aging and temperature over the performance of one-part “just add water” (JAW) granite-based geopolymers for application in well cementing and well abandonment. Additionally, the ... -
Bonding Mechanism of Zonal Isolation Materials to Clean and Rusted Casing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In oil and gas and geothermal well construction, a cementitious material is pumped in the wellbore to provide zonal isolation and support the casing during the life cycle of the well. Thus, the cementitious barrier materials ... -
Design and Early Age Performance of Sustainable One-Part Geopolymers for Well Cementing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-10)One-part geopolymers, known as “just add water” (JAW), alkali-activated formulation is presented in this work. This work reveals the design and development of short-term properties of JAW geopolymers for use in oilwell ... -
Early and Late Time Analytical Solutions for Co-current Spontaneous Imbibition and Generalized Scaling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We propose an explicit analytical solution for 1D cocurrent (COC) spontaneous imbibition (SI) in which a core is exposed to water (inlet) and oil (outlet). The system is described using an advection-capillary diffusion ... -
Effect of Calcium Expansive Additives on the Performance of Granite-Based Geopolymers for Zonal Isolation in Oil and Gas Wells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Geopolymers have emerged as a promising alternative to Portland cement for oil and gas wells. Achieving effective zonal isolation by use of geopolymers may require controlling their expansion. This study investigates the ... -
Experimental Evaluation of the Effect of Temperature on the Mechanical Properties of Setting Materials for Well Integrity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties of zonal isolation materials is important for predicting well integrity during well operation conditions. Conventionally, the mechanical properties of zonal isolation ... -
Modelling of creep compacting outcrop chalks injected with Ca-Mg-Na-Cl brines at reservoir conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Numerical and analytical 1D solutions are presented to interpret the link between geochemical alterations and creep compaction (compaction under constant effective stress) in chalk cores. Chemically reactive flow enhancing ... -
Reaction kinetics determined from core flooding and steady state principles for Stevns Klint and Kansas chalk injected with MgCl2 brine at reservoir temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A methodology is presented for determining reaction kinetics from core flooding: A core is flooded with reactive brine at different compositions with injection rates varied systematically. Each combination is performed ... -
Rheological Compatibility of a Hardening Spacer Fluid and Oil-based Drilling Fluid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)In the placement process of the cement slurry, treatment fluids such as the spacer are pumped ahead of the cementitious slurry to minimize the contamination of the slurry by drilling fluid and ensure superior bonding to ... -
Simulation of immiscible WAG injection in a stratified reservoir -- performance characterization using a new dimensionless number
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Water alternating gas (WAG) is a well‐established enhanced‐oil‐recovery process where gas and water are injected in alternating fashion. Good volumetric sweep is achieved as water and gas target both the oil residing in ... -
Steady State Gas Flow from Tight Shale Matrix Subject to Water Blocking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This work studies 1D steady-state flow of gas from compressible shale matrix subject to water blocking toward a neighboring fracture. Water blocking is a capillary end effect causing wetting phase (e.g., water) to accumulate ... -
Zonal Isolation Material for Low-Temperature Shallow-Depth Application: Evaluation of Early Properties Development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Shallow-depth cementing presents unique challenges due to its low temperature and low pore pressure characteristic. The curing process of the cementitious material is typically prolonged at low temperatures resulting in a ...
