Smart Cement Modified by Adding Multi Nano Powder for Oil Well Applications

Abstract:

In this Research, a ball mill procedure was used to prepare a nanopowder from a cement dust material supplied by Cement Factory for reinforcing the oil well cement through using it as a partial replacement of oil well cement class G by a weight percentage of (0.25 to 1%) and nanorod ZnO with the same percentages. The mix with a water to cement ratio was kept at 0.44. Characterizations of the structured prepared samples were done, density and compressive strength and free water. Experimental outcomes display that the generated nanopowder have a particle size of (100 nm) and that the structural properties improved significantly with the development phase of calcium silicate hydration C-S-H. Density and compressive strength significantly improved with lower free water. That makes it proper as smart cement for the oil well applications.
