“…These polymer bridges can be used as bonding agents to improve the internal cohesion performance of cement paste and thereby avoid fractures forming in cement. Moreover, nanoadditives and nanorubber (NR)/flexible particles can be applied to mitagate cement shrinkage and mechanical properties, separately. ,− Abid et al introduced nansilica to cement samples to improve the performance of cement against CO 2 attack.…”

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has been widely investigated to decrease the greenhouse effect. Geological CO2 storage sites are targeted mainly on depleted petroleum reservoirs or deep saline aquifers. However, CO2 leakage might take place through wellbores, cap rocks, reservoir fractures, or faults during or after the process of CO2 storage leading to environmental problems. To minimize these hazards, different kinds of sealants have been developed and applied. This review aims to summarize those materials applicable to CO2 leakage remediation. On the basis of the sealing mechanisms and compositions of different sealant materials, they were divided into seven major types: Portland cement, geopolymer cement, resins, biofilms barriers, gel systems, foams, and nanoparticles. For different types of sealants, their application background, chemical and physical properties, CO2 leakage remediation mechanism, impact factors of sealing performance, advantages, and limitations were summarized. Future development directions for these sealant materials are also recommended. To solve the problem caused by the weak acid-resistant performance of Portland cement, anti-CO2 materials should be developed and added to the formulation. Environmentally friendly materials need to be designed to replace some current user-hostile compositions in the geopolymer cement. Moreover, chemicals that can control the geopolymerization process are also required because of the high curing temperature requirement for the recent geopolymer productions. The injectivity of Portland cement and resin limits its application for in-depth CO2 leakage control; however, gels with relatively low viscosity during the injection can be a good alternative, although their thermal stability and strength need to be further enhanced. Biotechnology and nanotechnology are perspectives to be applied in the CO2 leakage control process. Foams with good stability might be used for CO2 leakage remediation in the porous medium without fractures, but their life cycle should be prolonged.

“…Relative lower gel strength facilitates the commence of the pumping process and lowers the requirements of cementing pump devices. Some researchers have pointed out the values or studies these rheological properties regarding magnesia blended oil well cement (Ghofrani and Plack, 1993;Hammad and Altameini, 2002;Srivastava et al, 2018;Jafariesfad et al, 2020).…”

Recent Advances in Magnesia Blended Cement Studies for Geotechnical Well Construction—A Review

et al. 2021

The current paper presents a literature review on the studies of incorporation of magnesia (magnesium oxide) into Portland cement material from the geotechnical well construction perspective. Starting with a comparison of application conditions between civil construction and geotechnical well cementing, this work reviewed the Portland cement categorizations, magnesia manufacturing routes at first. Then, the physical-chemical-mechanical properties were investigated which includes the reactivity of magnesia, expansion influence from its hydration, and carbonation/dehydroxylation of magnesia blended Portland cement. The development of cement material hydration modeling methods is also summarized. Moreover, the experimental characterization methods have also been elucidated including composition determination, particle size analysis, volumetric variation measurement, compressive strength testing, shear-bond strength testing, transition state analysis, etc. Meanwhile, the results and conclusions were extracted from the literature. Through this route, a comprehensive understanding of the scientific research progress on magnesia blended Portland cement development for geotechnical well construction is derived. Additionally, it is concluded that incorporating magnesia into Portland cement can provide benefits for this material utilization in geotechnical well constructions provided the reasonable tuning among the characteristics of magnesia, the downhole surrounding conditions, and the formulation of the cement slurry. Satisfying these pre-conditions, the effective expansion not only mitigates the micro-annulus issues but also increases the shear bonding strength at the cementing interfaces. Moreover, the caustic magnesia introduction into Portland cement has the potential advantage on carbon dioxide geological sequestration well integrity compared with the Portland cement sheath without it because of the denser in-situ porous matrix evolvement and more stable carbon fixation features of magnesium carbonate. However, since the impact of magnesia on Portland cement strongly depended on its properties (calcination conditions, particle size, reactivity) and the aging conditions (downhole temperature, pressure, contacting medium), it should be noted that some extended research is worth conducting in the future such as the synchronized hydration between magnesia and Portland cement, the dosage limit of caustic magnesia in Portland cement in terms of CO2 sequestration and the corresponding mechanical properties analysis, and the hybrid method (caustic magnesia, Portland cement, and other supplementary cementitious materials) targeting the co-existence of the geothermal environment and the corrosive medium scenario.

“…The cement must also be designed so that when it is in the liquid phase and being pumped downhole, it will be properly placed, remove any residual drilling mud, exhibit optimal rheological properties, and set in the appropriate period of time [1]. Cementitious materials are inflexible and susceptible to failures such as cracking and shrinking [2]. To enhance the mechanical properties of cement and prevent short-and long-term well integrity issues, additives are mixed with the cement slurry to procure the desired properties.…”

Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions is becoming a significant factor in all industries. Cement manufacturing is one of the industries responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, specifically carbon dioxide emissions. Pozzolanic materials have long been used as cement additives due to the pozzolanic reaction that occurs when hydrated and the formation a cementitious material similar to that of cement. In this study, shale, which is a common component found in wellbore drill cuttings, was used in various sizes and quantities to determine the effect it had on the mechanical properties of wellbore cement. The unconfined compressive strength of the cement containing shale was compared to the cement without shale to observe the effect that both the quantity and particle size had on this property. SEM–EDS microscopy was also performed to understand any notable variations in the cement microstructure or composition. The samples containing micron shale appeared to have the best results of all the samples containing shale, and some of the samples had a higher UCS than one or more of the base case samples. Utilization of cuttings as a cement additive is not just beneficial in that it minimizes the need for cuttings removal and recycling, but also in that it reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with cement manufacturing.
