Uniaxial compressive strength of geopolymer cement for oil well cement

Abstract Ensuring oil-well-integrity is one of the challenging tasks when cementing is designed. It has been well established that cement tends to degrade when exposed to a corrosive environment and at elevated temperatures. This paper presents the results of the uniaxial compressive strength of the...

description Abstract Ensuring oil-well-integrity is one of the challenging tasks when cementing is designed. It has been well established that cement tends to degrade when exposed to a corrosive environment and at elevated temperatures. This paper presents the results of the uniaxial compressive strength of the qualified mixes of geopolymer cement containing fly ash as the precursor. Geopolymer cement samples were cured in the potable water heated at 60 °C and 90 °C for 24 h before testing for uniaxial compressive strength. Uniaxial confined compressive strength test was performed for samples cured at a 60 °C, and results of the samples bearing density of 13, 15, and 17 ppg were obtained as 4.12, 9.21 and 17.68 kPa, respectively. For 90 °C, the compressive strengths were 4.43, 15.34 and 78.14 kPa, respectively, for the samples bearing the same density. Samples cured at 90 °C showed the higher value of UCS as compared to the samples cured at 60 °C, and it was because heat is required to stimulate the polymeric reaction.
