Description

Corrosion-resistant materials for cement slurry, carbon dioxide corrosion-resistant cement slurry, their preparation methods and applications Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cement slurry technology for oil and gas well cementing, specifically to anti-corrosion materials for cement slurry, carbon dioxide corrosion resistant cement slurry, their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is currently the only feasible technology capable of significantly reducing CO2 emissions. The integrity of the cement sheath is a key technology determining the successful implementation and long-term storage of CO2 in geological storage projects. As is well known, CO2 exists downhole in a supercritical state, characterized by low viscosity and high permeability. Meanwhile, silicate cement systems are strongly alkaline, while CO2 is an acidic gas. Under long-term CO2 erosion, the cement sheath is prone to excessive carbonization and decalcification, leading to changes in composition, strength reduction, increased porosity and permeability, ultimately destroying the overall structure of the cement sheath and jeopardizing the long-term effective sealing of the wellbore.

[0003] Currently, to address the corrosion problem of well cement sheaths by acidic gases such as CO2, anti-corrosion cement slurry systems are widely used both domestically and internationally. Oil well cement CO2 anti-corrosion materials mainly employ ultrafine inert materials and active silica-based materials. For example, Sinopec Dezhou Research Institute adds inert ultrafine barite, and Li Guanying et al. from National Cheng Kung University add fly ash, silica powder, and other active materials. These methods improve the CO2 corrosion resistance of cement stone by reducing its permeability through a physical compaction effect and by reacting with cement minerals to reduce its alkalinity. However, this approach only weakens the exchange source of dissolving ions and slows down the penetration rate of the CO2 corrosive medium. Once the corrosive medium enters the cement stone, it will continue to damage the gel structure, rendering it unable to continue its anti-corrosion function. Therefore, the anti-corrosion effect is not ideal.

[0004] CN114133172A discloses a carbon dioxide corrosion resistant cement slurry for cementing and its preparation method. The slurry uses silicate cement, nano-silica, UF cellulose fiber, a fluid loss reducer, and a dispersant. The nano-silica fills and plugs the micropores inside the cement stone, participates in the hydration reaction to increase the Si / Ca ratio of the hydration products, and improves the corrosion resistance of the hydration products. The UF cellulose improves the mechanical properties of the cement stone. However, the applicable temperature range is not given; the example temperature is 60℃, indicating a narrow applicable temperature range and insufficient system adaptability.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a cement slurry with good corrosion resistance in a CO2 corrosive environment to ensure the cementing quality of CCUS wells and achieve efficient CO2 storage. Summary of the Invention

For numerical ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.

[0033] The first aspect of the present invention provides an anti-corrosion material for cement slurry, the anti-corrosion material comprising mixture A and mixture B; wherein, mixture A comprises activated carbon, nano-silica and nano-alumina; mixture B comprises component C and component D; component C is selected from diatomaceous earth and / or fly ash; component D is selected from one or more of metakaolin, pumice and coal gangue.

[0034] In this invention, mixture A comprises activated carbon, nano-silica, and nano-alumina. The nano-silica and nano-alumina are adsorbed within the pores of the activated carbon, allowing for slow, sustained, and restorative release. Mixture A primarily functions in the later stages.

[0035] In this invention, when cement stone comes into contact with carbon dioxide, mixture B, exhibiting strong pozzolanic activity, initiates the pozzolanic reaction, consuming Ca(OH)₂ in the cement stone and generating dense substances such as hydrated calcium silicate and hydrated calcium aluminate. These substances adhere to the outer surface of the cement stone, providing protection and preventing CO₂ from penetrating further, thus initially forming a protective film on the cement stone's exterior. As the hydration reaction continues, the hydration products such as hydrated calcium silicate and hydrated calcium aluminate are continuously consumed, damaging the protective film and causing further damage to the cement stone's microstructure. Mixture A slowly releases nano-silica and nano-alumina, acting as a filler and blocker, forming a dense protective film on the cement stone's exterior. Simultaneously, the nano-silica continues to react with Ca(OH)₂ in the cement stone, preventing acidic gases from further penetrating. Therefore, mixture A strengthens and densifies the outer protective film of the cement stone, achieving long-term effective corrosion protection. This invention achieves long-term corrosion protection with excellent long-term anti-corrosion effects through optimized anti-corrosion material formulation.

[0040] The carbon dioxide corrosion resistant cement slurry made from the above raw materials has good corrosion resistance in CO2 corrosion environment. Before corrosion, the cement stone has high compressive strength and dense structure. After corrosion, the compressive strength of the cement stone does not decline significantly (strength decline rate is less than 20%), and the permeability is less than 0.1mD, or even less than 0.05mD.

[0041] Cement grout containing the above anti-corrosion materials is suitable for temperatures ranging from 30 to 150°C. It can significantly improve the CO2 corrosion resistance of cement stone, and after corrosion, the compressive strength of cement stone is greater than 20 MPa. It has low permeability and has no adverse effects on other properties of cement stone. It can ensure the long-term effective sealing performance of cement ring under CCUS corrosion conditions.

[0049] Component C and component D are mixed to obtain mixture B; wherein, component C is selected from diatomaceous earth and / or fly ash; and component D is selected from one or more of metakaolin, pumice, and coal gangue.

[0050] Mixture A and mixture B are mixed under low stirring rate conditions, and then stirred at high speed to obtain the corrosion-resistant material.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the low stirring rate is 3800-4200 r / min, and the high stirring rate is 11500-12500 r / min.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of activated carbon, nano-silica, and nano-alumina in mixture A is 1:0.05-0.1:0.05-0.1.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of component C to component D is 1-2:1.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of mixture A to mixture B is 1:2-4.

[0061] The corrosion-resistant material of this invention is used to prepare carbon dioxide corrosion-resistant cement slurry. The process is simple and convenient. When cement stone comes into contact with carbon dioxide, mixture B undergoes a pozzolanic reaction, consuming Ca(OH)₂ in the cement stone and producing hydrated calcium silicate, hydrated calcium aluminate, and other substances. This protects the cement stone from carbon dioxide corrosion, initially forming a protective film. As the hydration reaction continues, the hydration products are further consumed, leading to signs of damage to the cement stone's microstructure. At this point, mixture A slowly releases nano-silica and nano-alumina, which act as a filler and blocker, forming a dense protective film on the outside of the cement stone. Simultaneously, the nano-silica continues to react with Ca(OH)₂ in the cement stone, preventing acidic gases from further penetrating the cement stone. Therefore, the prepared cement slurry provides long-lasting resistance to carbon dioxide corrosion.

[0062] The fourth aspect of this invention provides a carbon dioxide corrosion resistant cement slurry, which is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of G-grade oil well cement, 2-6 parts of anti-corrosion material, 2-5 parts of microsilica, 3-6 parts of reinforcing material, 3-5 parts of expansion and toughening material, 1-3 parts of latex powder, 0-2 parts of stabilizer, 0.3-2 parts of dispersant, 2-5 parts of water loss reducer, 0.1-2 parts of retarder, 0.2-0.5 parts of defoamer, and 48-56 parts of water, wherein the anti-corrosion material is the anti-corrosion material described in the first aspect above or the anti-corrosion material prepared by the preparation method described in the second aspect above.

[0063] In this invention, the carbon dioxide corrosion resistant cement slurry made from the above raw materials has good corrosion resistance in a CO2 corrosion environment. Before corrosion, the cement stone has high compressive strength and dense structure. After corrosion, the compressive strength of the cement stone does not decline significantly, the permeability is low, and the mechanical properties are good. At the same time, the comprehensive properties such as settling stability and rheology are good. It can be used in CO2 corrosion resistant cement slurry systems with temperatures of 30-150℃ and below, ensuring the cementing quality of CCUS wells and achieving efficient CO2 sequestration.

[0148] Table 1. Results of Experiments in Examples and Comparative Examples (Continued)

[0149]

[0150] As shown in Table 1, the flowability of all embodiments was greater than 20 cm, and the API water loss was less than 50 mL, meeting the requirements for cementing construction. The compressive strength after corrosion of all embodiments was greater than 20 MPa, the strength loss rate was less than 20%, and the permeability was less than 0.1 mD, indicating good performance and meeting the requirements for cementing sealing.

[0151] As can be seen from the experimental data of Examples 1-3, using the cement slurry of Example 1, after 60 days of corrosion, the compressive strength decreased from 32.6 MPa to 27.9 MPa. The post-corrosion compressive strength is greater than 20 MPa, and the permeability is less than 0.05 mD. The cement stone exhibits good mechanical properties after corrosion, meeting the sealing requirements. Within the scope defined by this invention, adjusting the proportions of each component in the anti-corrosion material and the amount of anti-corrosion material added has no adverse effects on the density, fluidity, and API water loss of the cement slurry system. Furthermore, the post-corrosion compressive strength of the cement stone is always greater than 20 MPa, and the permeability is less than 0.05 mD, indicating good anti-corrosion performance of the cement stone.

[0152] As can be seen from the experimental data of Examples 2, 4, and 5, after temperature changes, by adjusting the amount of different admixtures as needed, the resulting cement slurry system exhibits good engineering performance. Furthermore, after curing under corrosive conditions, the compressive strength is greater than 20 MPa, the permeability is less than 0.05 mD, and the corrosion resistance is good. In other words, within the range of the amount of each material added, adjustments can be made according to different temperatures to meet the usage requirements at different temperatures.

[0153] As can be seen from the data of Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1-2, after corrosion, the compressive strength of Comparative Examples 1-2 decreased significantly, all less than 20 MPa, and the permeability increased significantly, even greater than 0.1 mD. Furthermore, the fluidity of Comparative Example 2 was 17 cm, indicating a deterioration in fluidity.

[0154] The data from Comparative Example 4 show that when no anti-corrosion material is added to the cement slurry, the strength of the cement stone before corrosion is 31.5 MPa. However, after 60 days of corrosion, the compressive strength deteriorates to 15.6 MPa, a decrease of 50.48%, and the permeability increases from 0.049 mD to 0.203 mD. The strength deteriorates significantly and the permeability increases significantly.

[0155] In summary, the cement slurry of the present invention has an applicable temperature range of 30-150℃. After corrosion, the compressive strength of the cement stone is greater than 20MPa and the permeability is less than 0.05mD, which significantly improves the CO2 corrosion resistance of the cement stone. At the same time, it has no adverse effects on other engineering properties of the cement slurry and can ensure the long-term effective sealing of the cement ring under CCUS corrosion conditions.

[0156] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
