Abstract: The use of geopolymers as a full replacement for cement in oil well cementing applications requires the development of not only environmentally friendly but also user-friendly cementitious materials. This study aims to ...

Abstract: Geopolymer material has a potential to function alongside Portland Cement as an efficient cementitious material for well cementing and plug and abandonment applications. Geopolymer material requires retarding agents to be ...

Abstract: In this article, the role of the reactivity of different heat-treated calcium oxides on the properties of a granite-based geopolymer was investigated for low-temperature application to attain high linear expansion and its ...

Abstract: Alternative materials such as geopolymers appear to have potential advantages compared to Portland cement. However, the application of geopolymers for all sections of the well is still a major challenge due to the difference ...

Abstract: Geopolymers, being inorganic polymers created from rock sources, were evaluated as an alternative to Portland cement. To evaluate their usability, some properties of a selected geopolymer were measured and compared with ...

Abstract: Cement is the prime barrier material to maintain zonal isolation during wellbore life-cycle. Different types of the cement have different performances on sealability. The primary objective of this study is evaluation of ...
