oil-well cementing

A new competitive class of grouting materials has been created. These lightweight grouting materials (LGM) with a density of 1370–1650 kg/m3 consist of oil-well Portland cement PCTI-100, fine powder of PE grade (a by-product of fireclay production from kaolin), acidic fly ash from state district power plants, and lime dust (a by-product of lime production). The composition of the products formed during LGM hydration was clarified by X-ray phase and differential thermal analysis.

A new competitive class of plugging compositions (weighted non-shrink plugging materials) has been created using as components a fly ash from thermal power station, a weighting additive and a superplasticizer. X-ray phase analysis identified the composition of new materials formed in the hydration process of the developed plugging compositions. The kinetic curves of the plugging material expansion in a wide temperature range have been obtained.
