[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field exploitation, and particularly relates to a cementing slurry composition, a cementing slurry system and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] A certain oilfield is rich in resources and is a typical low-permeability, low-pressure, low-abundance and low-yield oil and gas reservoir. The oilfield is mainly developed at low cost through cluster long horizontal section horizontal well cementing, perforating and fracturing. Due to the deep burial of the oil and gas reservoir, the multiple lost layers, the long open hole section of the horizontal section, the large circulation pressure consumption of the small wellbore size, the high fracturing modification pressure and large scale in the later stage, higher technical requirements and challenges are put forward for the cementing of the horizontal section of the horizontal well. With the progress of drilling technology, the cement slurry system prepared by ordinary cement cannot meet the increasingly harsh production needs of the field. Therefore, a cement slurry system formula and preparation method for cementing the horizontal section of an oil and gas well are researched and invented. SUMMARY

[0022] Other features and advantages of the present application will be set forth in the following description, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or can be learned by practice of the application. The objects and other advantages of the application can be realized and attained by the methods and systems particularly pointed out in the written description. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] The present application relates to a cementing slurry system prepared from a cementing slurry composition. The cementing slurry composition comprises: 100 parts by weight of a main material, 2-5 parts by weight of a performance optimizer, 0.1-1 parts by weight of an accelerator, 0.1-2 parts by weight of a fluid loss reducer, and 42-45 parts by weight of water; the main material is composed of fine cement and a lightening agent, the lightening agent is nano-silicon carbide micro powder, and the mass ratio of the fine cement to the nano-silicon carbide micro powder is 95:5-40:60.

[0025] Theoretical research shows that the fine cement is composed of cement particles of various gradations, the cement particles with a particle size of 10 microns or less have the fastest hydration speed, the cement particles with a particle size of 3-30 microns have the maximum activity, the cement particles with a particle size of 65-100 microns have relatively weak activity and slow hydration, and the cement particles with a particle size of more than 100 microns can only have surface hydration and play a role of packing material. Generally, the finer the cement is, the greater the specific surface area is, but the production cost of the cement is also increased; the fineness requirement of the ordinary type calcium silicate cement is that the specific surface area should be greater than 300 m 2 / kg according to the national regulation. In order to improve the cementation and early strength of the cement, it is necessary to improve the fineness of the cement and optimize the particle size distribution.

[0026] In the present application, the fine cement particle size distribution is shown in Table 1.

[0027] Table 1 fine cement particle size distribution

[0028] Particle size (μm) ≤3 ≤32 ≤65 ≤100 Interval distribution (%) 10 50 70 100

[0029] In Table 1, the proportion of the particles with a particle size of 3 microns or less accounts for 10%, too much or too little will affect the cementing strength of the cement slurry system; the proportion of the particles with a particle size of 32 microns or less accounts for 50%, the activity of this part of the cement particles is the maximum, the reaction is relatively sufficient when meeting water, and it is crucial to improve the cementation and early strength of the cement; the activity of the particles with a particle size of 65-100 microns is relatively weak, and the hydration is slow, but it is beneficial to the fluidity of the cement slurry system; the fine cement particle size distribution designed in Table 1 improves the total specific surface area and the initial hydration speed of the cement, and also improves the fluidity of the cement slurry system.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the nano silicon carbide powder (product model DK-SIC-001) is a lightweight nano material with a bulk density of only 0.11 g / cm 3 As a key material of the cement slurry system formula, the proportion of the addition of the nano silicon carbide powder determines the density of the cement slurry. Experiments prove that when the water material mass ratio is 0.44, the relationship between the mass ratio of the cement and the nano silicon carbide powder and the density of the cement slurry is shown in Table 2.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the coagulant is CaCl2, the wall thickness of the capsule is adjustable, the wall thickness is 0.1-0.3mm, and the different particle sizes are 0.1mm-15mm; the different setting time of the cement slurry system in the field requires different wall thickness and pressure resistance parameters.

[0042] The lightening agent nano silicon carbide powder dosage and the evaluation test results in example 1 are listed in table 1, and it can be seen from the data in table 3 that the cement slurry density is adjusted by adjusting the content of the lightening agent nano silicon carbide powder, but as the cement content in the main material decreases, the cement slurry density decreases, the longitudinal density difference appears, and the performance optimization material needs to be added.
