Stoke’s theory in problem solution of cementing slurry sedimentation in horizontal sections

Abstract

The paper studies the application of Stokes theory in problem solution of cement slurry sedimentation in horizontal sections. As a rule, during the horizontal cementing of wells, due attention is paid to the composition of cement slurry. The final composition should ensure stable casing of the horizontal column - cement slurry - rock. A slight deviation in the fluid loss index can lead to a loss of contact between the cement stone and the rock. The study of the process of sedimentation of solution particles in horizontal sections is relevant. This paper assesses the application of Stokes theory in the solution of the above mentioned problem. The material described in this article will be useful during the study of this topic by students of Mining and Petroleum Faculty, the direction of drilling oil and gas wells, in order to improve the level of knowledge gained during the course of “Well casing” discipline.
