High water cut in production wells will increase the water content in the oil produced, resulting in declined oil production of the wells as well as decreased efficiency of used chemicals and surface facility equipment. This paper presents the results of application of chemicals for near-wellbore treatment to reduce the water content in the produced fluid.
During the process of cementing, MgO-based expansive additives are widely used to increase bond and adhesion of the cement stone annulus with the wellbore and casing. Under the high-temperature condition of the bottom hole area, the additives help prevent gas channelling and migration in the well.The paper presents the results of a study on the preparation of the PVChem MgO expansion additive based on the magnesite ore from Kong Queng mine (Gia Lai province). The analyses of density, water separation, water discharge, rheological properties, thickening time and strength of cement stone then showed that adding 0.75% PVChem MgO expansion additive into the cement slurry mixture prevents gas ingress and migration effectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
