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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
