An assessment of borehole sealing performance in a salt environment

Abstract: Design of plugs for abandonment of boreholes and shafts may be governed by the bond strength between the plug and host rock. This paper presents the results of push-out tests on cement grout plugs in salt. Two types of expandable cement grouts have been tested. The average interface shear strengths ranged from 2 to 12 MPa (290 to 1740 psi). Peak shear stresses at failure, assuming an elastic stress distribution along the interface, were up to eight times higher. Standard deviations commonly reached 20%. Dissol… Show more

“…Extensive experience with borehole plug testing (e.g., Stormont and Daemen 1983;Akgün and Daemen 1986, 1994Greer and Daemen 1991;Akgün 1997) strongly indicates that frictional bonding is by far the most important and, in many rock types, probably the only interaction between cementitious plugs and host rocks. Nevertheless, we recognize that in cer- Fig.…”
