[0002] In the process of cementing system, glass balls, barite, cement and other materials need to be added to ensure the firmness of the oil well casing, so as to ensure the normal oil production of the oil well. However, the added cement, barite and the like are often steel media connecting the casing and the formation rock. When the formation pressure, formation cracks and the like change, the cementing material does not have good cementing toughness, which greatly increases the casing damage probability. However, the existing method is to add expensive latex material. However, this method can only avoid the corrosion of some formation water on the cement curing and the casing, and cannot improve the toughness of the cement curing.

[0003] Therefore, the toughening agent for oilfield cementing, which is prepared by melting and mixing drilling solid waste, waste rubber particles and mineral fibers and then adding a latex agent, can improve the cementing quality, strengthen the cementing degree with the formation rock, reduce the steel stress effect of the formation, and protect and reduce the pressure bearing capacity of the oil well casing after being added to the cementing mud system.
