Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses thermal cements. The chemistry of thermal cements is also presented and data are provided to illustrate the long term performance of typical systems. The proper mixing and placement of well cements rely upon the application of electrical and mechanical technology. The physical and chemical behavior of well cements changes significantly at elevated temperatures and pressures. Corrosive water zones and very weak formations are common in thermal wells. The three principle types of wells that encompass thermal cementing are deep oil and gas wells, geothermal wells, and thermal recovery wells. Portland cement, Class J cement, silica-lime systems, and high-alumina cement are used to complete thermal wells. The chapter uses cement compounds with special chemical notation.
