Scientific basis for safely shutting in the Macondo Well after the April 20, 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout [PDF]
As part of the government response to the Deepwater Horizon blowout, a Well Integrity Team evaluated the geologic hazards of shutting in the Macondo Well at the seafloor and determined the conditions under which it could safely be undertaken.

Rheological Evaluation of Compatibility in Oil Well Cementing
In primary cementing of an oil well, the oil-based drilling mud (lubricant) is displaced by sequential pumping of an aqueous surfactant ‘spacer’ fluid, and then the aqueous cement slurry.

Lessons Learnt from the Development of Cementitious Grouts for Deep Borehole Disposal Applications [PDF]
The performance of grouts made using oilwell cement is markedly different above 90°C than at lower temperatures, and the rapidity with which grouts thicken can cause failures in well cementing.

Application of precise MPD & pressure balance cementing technology
The precise managed pressure drilling (MPD) technology is mainly used to deal with the difficulties encountered when oil and gas open hole sections with multiple pressure systems and the strata with narrow safety density window are drilled through.

Anti-channeling cementing technology for long horizontal sections of shale gas wells
Large-scale hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal well drilling is the key technology in shale gas development. But poor cementing quality is a crucial bottleneck restricting well completion and reservoir stimulation. In this paper, the shale gas

Estimation of cement thermal properties through the three-phase model with application to geothermal wells [PDF]
Geothermal energy has been used by mankind since ancient times. Given the limited geographical distribution of the most favorable resources, exploration efforts have more recently focused on unconventional geothermal systems targeting greater depths to ...

Rheology and Stability of Saudi Cement for Oil Well Cementing
The suitability of some locally produced cement for oil well cementing has been investigated by means of chemical and physical analyses of powder cement, rheology and thickening time of slurries, and the compressive strength of set cement.

Possibilities of Limiting Migration of Natural Gas in Boreholes in the Context of Laboratory Studies
Gas migration through fresh and hardened cement slurry is an ongoing problem in the oil industry. In order to eliminate this unfavourable phenomenon, research is being conducted on new compositions of slurries for gas wells.
