Abstract

The second interface of cementing refers to the interface formed by the formation and the cement sheath after cementing. The bonding strength of the second cementing interface is mainly generated through the interaction between the cement sheath and the formation. This study employs sandstone and limestone as experimental materials to investigate the influencing factors on the bonding strength of the second cementing interface by altering the water-cement ratio of the cement slurry system, adding ultrafine materials, and incorporating latex materials. In a progressive experimental approach, various types of cement slurries are selected, including pure cement slurry systems under different water-cement ratios (L1, L2), cement slurry systems with added nano-silica on the basis of pure cement systems (L3), and cement slurry systems with latex added (L4). The influence factors of the bonding strength of the second cementing interface of cement sheaths are explored through self-developed bonding strength evaluation molds and micro-characterization of the bonding interface. The results indicate that increasing the water-cement ratio or adding nano-silica can promote the generation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), resulting in higher early bonding strength but lower later strength under sandstone interfaces; the reaction of latex particles themselves to form a three-dimensional network structure can enhance the bonding strength. This research provides significant insights into the bonding laws of the second cementing interface and is of great importance to the cementing construction process.
