Definitions
- compositions and methods for treating subterranean formations in particular, compositions and methods for cementing and completing wells in which the set cement may be exposed to carbon dioxide or sulfates.
- the tubular body may comprise drillpipe, casing, liner, coiled tubing or combinations thereof.
- the purpose of the tubular body is to act as a conduit through which desirable fluids from the well may travel and be collected.
- the tubular body is normally secured in the well by a cement sheath.
- the cement sheath provides mechanical support and hydraulic isolation between the zones or layers that the well penetrates. The latter function is important because it prevents hydraulic communication between zones that may result in contamination. For example, the cement sheath blocks fluids from oil or gas zones from entering the water table and polluting drinking water.
- the cement sheath achieves hydraulic isolation because of its low permeability.
- intimate bonding between the cement sheath and both the tubular body and borehole is necessary to prevent leaks.
- the cement sheath can deteriorate and become permeable.
- the bonding between the cement sheath and the tubular body or borehole may become compromised. Principal causes of deterioration and debonding include physical stresses associated with tectonic movements, temperature changes and chemical deterioration of the cement.
- cement-sheath deterioration There have been several proposals to deal with the problems of cement-sheath deterioration.
- One approach is to design the cement sheath to mechanically survive physical stresses that may be encountered during its lifetime.
- Another approach is to employ additives that improve the physical properties of the set cement.
- Amorphous metal fibers may be added to cements to improve the strength and impact resistance.
- Addition of flexible materials may confer a degree of flexibility to the cement sheath.
- Cement compositions may also be formulated to be less sensitive to temperature fluctuations during the setting process.
- self-healing cement systems have been developed that are tailored to the mixing, pumping and curing conditions associated with cementing subterranean wells.
- superabsorbent polymers may be added and may be encapsulated. If the permeability of the cement matrix rises, or the bonding between the cement sheath and the tubular body or borehole wall is disrupted, the superabsorbent polymer becomes exposed to formation fluids. Most formation fluids contain some water, and the polymer swells upon water contact. The swelling fills voids in the cement sheath, restoring the low cement-matrix permeability.
- the polymer will swell and restore isolation. Rubber particles that swell when exposed to liquid hydrocarbons may also be incorporated in cements. Like the superabsorbent polymers, the swelling of the rubber particles restores and maintains zonal isolation.
- Carbon sequestration is a geo-engineering technique for the long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon, for various purposes such as the mitigation of "global warming".
- Carbon dioxide may be captured as a pure byproduct in processes related to petroleum refining or from the flue gases from power plants that employ fossil fuels. The gas is then usually injected into subsurface saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs.
- One of the challenges is to trap the carbon dioxide and prevent leakage back to the surface; maintaining a competent and impermeable cement sheath is a critical requirement.
- the present disclosure describes improvements by providing cement systems that are resistant to carbon dioxide and sulfate waters encountered in a subterranean well.
- compositions comprising water, a hydraulic cement and a silicate.
- the silicate is encapsulated by a coating that isolates the silicate from the water and cement.
- the encapsulated silicate is in the form of particles.
- embodiments relate to methods for maintaining zonal isolation in a subterranean well having a borehole wall, at least one tubular body and a cement sheath occupying an annular space between the tubular body and the borehole wall.
- a well cementing composition is prepared that comprises water, a hydraulic cement and a silicate.
- the silicate is encapsulated by a coating that isolates the silicate from the water and cement.
- the encapsulated silicate is in the form of particles.
- the composition is placed in the annular space, then allowed to set and establish zonal isolation. Should zonal isolation become compromised, the coating is allowed to deteriorate, thereby releasing the silicate.
- the silicate is allowed to react with calcium hydroxide in the set composition, thereby forming calcium silicate hydrate and reestablishing zonal isolation.
- a concentration range listed or described as being useful, suitable, or the like is intended that any and every concentration within the range, including the end points, is to be considered as having been stated.
- a range of from 1 to 10 is to be read as indicating each and every possible number along the continuum between about 1 and about 10.
- Crystalline calcium hydroxide Ca(OH) 2 reacts with carbonic acid to form calcium carbonate, CaC0 3 .
- the C-S-H gel also reacts to produce amorphous silica gel.
- Sulfate attack is also a common form of cement deterioration. This attack occurs when cement is in contact with water containing S0 4 .
- the attack is due to two principal reactions: the reaction of sodium sulfate (Na 2 S0 4 ) or magnesium sulfate (MgS0 4 ) with calcium hydroxide Ca(OH) 2 to form gypsum (Eqs. 5 and 6) and the reaction of the formed gypsum with calcium aluminate hydrates to form ettringite (Eq. 7).
- Expansion due to ettringite formation causes tensile stresses to develop in the cement. If these stresses become greater than the cement tensile strength, the cement can crack. This failure by expansion is often observed in the civil engineering applications.
- compositions and methods by which the calcium hydroxide content in set cement may be reduced before attack by C0 2 or S0 4 , but after the cement has set.
- aqueous sodium silicate Na 2 Si0 3
- Ca(OH) 2 is available for attack; moreover, formation of C-S-H is a beneficial result as C-S-H gel is a binding material natural to concrete.
- the silicate may be encapsulated.
- the capsules may be added during the preparation of the cement slurry, promoting even dispersion throughout the slurry.
- An advantage of having the reaction occur after the curing of the cement is that the reactive material will be used only for the purpose of calcium hydroxide consumption.
- C-S-H gel comprises roughly 65 wt% of fully hydrated Portland cement.
- concentration of Ca(OH) 2 usually varies between 15 wt% and 20 wt%.
- the silicate concentration may also be between 2.0 moles and 2.7 moles of set cement to achieve full consumption Ca(OH) 2 .
- Other hydraulic cement blends of the disclosure represent a wider range of Ca(OH)2 concentrations.
- the silicate concentration may be between 0.5 and 3.0 moles per kg of hydraulic cement, or between 2.0 and 2.7 moles per kg of hydraulic cement.
- compositions comprising water, a hydraulic cement and a silicate.
- the silicate is encapsulated by a coating that isolates the silicate from the water and cement.
- the encapsulated silicate is in the form of particles.
- embodiments relate to methods for maintaining zonal isolation in a subterranean well having a borehole wall, at least one tubular body and a cement sheath occupying an annular space between the tubular body and the borehole wall.
- a well cementing composition is prepared that comprises water, a hydraulic cement and a silicate.
- the silicate is encapsulated by a coating that isolates the silicate from the water and cement.
- the encapsulated silicate is in the form of particles.
- the composition is placed in the annular space, then allowed to set and establish zonal isolation. Should zonal isolation become compromised, the coating is allowed to deteriorate, thereby releasing the silicate.
- the silicate is allowed to react with calcium hydroxide in the set composition, thereby forming calcium silicate hydrate and reestablishing zonal isolation.
- Zonal isolation may be compromised by fracturing of the cement sheath, exposure to carbon dioxide, or exposure to sulfates or combinations thereof. Coating deterioration may result from mechanical stress, exposure to heat, dissolution, swelling or degradation or combinations thereof.
- the hydraulic cement may comprise portland cement, lime-silica blends, lime-fly ash blends, lime-blast furnace slag blends or zeolites or combinations thereof.
- the silicate may comprise one or more alkali silicates, one or more alkaline-earth silicates or methyl silicate or combinations thereof.
- the coating may comprise an epoxy resin, a phenolic resin, a furan resin, a cellulosic polymer, polyvinylidene chloride, poly(methyl methacrylate), polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polyvinylalcohol, urea-formaldehyde polymers, silicones, gelatins, lipids, styrene acrylic resins, or waxes or combinations thereof.
- the encapsulated particles may have diameters between 1 micron and 1000 microns.
- compositions may further comprise accelerators, retarders, extenders, weighting agents, dispersants, fluid-loss control agents, lost- circulation control agents, antifoam agents, gas-generating agents or fibers or combinations thereof.
- the viscosity of the composition during placement in the well may be lower than 1000 cP at a shear rate of 100 s -1 .

Abstract
L'invention concerne des compositions de ciment comprenant de l'eau, un ciment hydraulique et un silicate encapsulé. Le silicate peut être libéré des capsules par une exposition à une contrainte mécanique, la chaleur, une dissolution, un gonflement ou une dégradation de revêtement. Lors de la libération, le silicate réagit avec de l'hydroxyde de calcium dans la matrice de ciment pour former un hydrate de silicate de calcium. La consommation d'hydroxyde de calcium rend le ciment durci plus résistant à la détérioration lors d'une exposition à du dioxyde de carbone, à des sulfates ou aux deux.
