Improvement of cement physical and mechanical properties for durable zonal isolation

Cel



Research objectives and content
This project addresses a major problem of the oil and gas industry - long-term zonal isolation in high-temperature high-pressure wells. A main goal is to develop a model to predict cement expansion and the associated mechanical behaviour during setting. To achieve this, an innovative experimental study of the mechanisms of cement paste expansion and shrinkage will be carried out, and additives developed for controlling these processes and hence the final compressive stress state of the set cement. The output from the work will give the oil industry for the first time a field-validated robust cementing product for durable zonal isolation. The consequences will be reduced well costs, increased safety, and lower environmental risk.
Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact)
I will benefit from training in a multidisciplinary environment with experts in chemistry, solid mechanics, materials science, and information technology on a project that requires many aspects of these to be integrated. Working in an industrial environment I will learn directly how to apply sound scientific work to practical applications. The project will also involve contact with other European research centres, universities and oil companies eager to collaborate on and apply the output from this project. The field validation phase will give me first-hand experience of oilfield operations.
Links with industry / industrial relevance (22)
Being directly in relation with North Sea Field operators will bring me a full overview of the oil industry world. This project is of great importance because it contributes to increasing oil resources potential as well as with dealing with environmental problems.
