Abstract

AbstractIn the field of hydrate formation cementing, the method of developing the low hydration exothermic cement systems cannot effectively solve the problem of hydrate dissociation caused by the hydration heat release of cement. Therefore, we proposed a new approach to address this issue by employing cement additives that can effectively delay the dissociation of hydrate. In our previous work, we designed a novel hydrate dissociation inhibitor, PVCap/dmapma, however, its applicability with cement slurry remains unverified. In this study, we established a more realistic model of oilwell cement gel based on experimental data. Additionally, we investigated the potential effects of PVCap/dmapma on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cement gel through molecular simulations. The results suggest that PVCap/dmapma has no negative effect on the performance of cement slurry compared to Lecithin. By adding PVCap/dmapma to cement slurry, the problem of cementing in hydrate formations is expected to be solved.
