An Introduction to Cementing Additives:

Cementing is a crucial step in the oil and gas extraction process. It involves injecting cement slurry into the annular space between the wellbore and the casing to isolate the formation, strengthen the wellbore wall and provide good support. In order to ensure that the cement slurry can meet the performance requirements under specific conditions, it is often necessary to add various admixtures to adjust its physical and chemical properties. These admixtures constitute the so-called "cementing admixture system", which is of great significance to improving cementing quality and reducing costs.

Cementing can achieve the following purposes

Fixing and protecting casing

All casings installed during drilling must be fixed by cementing operations. In addition, the cement stone outside the casing can reduce the compression of the formation on the casing and protect the casing

Protecting high-pressure oil and gas layers

When drilling into high-pressure oil and gas layers, blowout accidents are prone to occur. It is necessary to increase the density of the drilling fluid to balance the formation pressure. After drilling the high-pressure oil and gas layers, casing must be installed and cemented to protect the high-pressure oil and gas layers

Seal off serious leakage layers and other complex layers

When drilling into serious leakage layers, the method of reducing the density of the drilling fluid and adding plugging materials can be adopted. After drilling the serious leakage layer, casing must also be installed and cemented, and the leakage layer must be sealed to prevent it from affecting the subsequent drilling.
