Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geothermal resource development technology, specifically relating to a high thermal conductivity cement slurry system for cementing wells using solid waste, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of accelerated global energy structure transformation, geothermal energy, as a stable and reliable renewable energy source, is receiving widespread attention. While geothermal resources possess significant advantages such as wide distribution and energy conversion efficiency unaffected by climate conditions, the commercial development of medium- and high-temperature geothermal resources still faces multiple technological bottlenecks. Among these, cementing engineering, as a core component ensuring the safe operation of geothermal wells throughout their entire lifecycle, has seen breakthroughs in the performance of its material systems become a key constraint on the industry's development.
[0003] Cementing is a crucial process for maintaining the safe and efficient production of geothermal wells, and the quality of the cement sheath directly impacts the operational effectiveness of these wells. Current cement sheath technology faces a dual technical challenge: firstly, cement sheaths are typical multiphase heterogeneous brittle materials with low thermal conductivity, which is detrimental to the efficient heat exchange of the heat transfer medium in water / gas injection wells; secondly, high temperatures also lead to performance degradation of the cement sheath, making it unable to effectively seal the formation. In particular, when CO2 is used as the heat exchange medium, the corrosive effect of CO2 on the cement stone further reduces its compressive strength. Based on these issues, developing a novel cementing system that combines high thermal conductivity, high-temperature stability, and resistance to CO2 corrosion is of paramount importance.

[0076] Comparative Example 1
[0077] Prepare cement slurry according to the following mass percentages:
[0078] The cement slurry was prepared according to GB / T 19139 Oil Well Cement Test Method, with a water-cement ratio of 0.44. It contains 65% Grade G cement, 35% siliceous materials, 4% water loss reducing agent, 3% retarder, 2.5% suspension stabilizer, and 0.06% defoamer.

[0080] Experimental Example 1
[0081] According to GB / T 19139 Test Methods for Cement in Oil Wells, the engineering performance of the cement slurry systems of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 was tested, and the experimental results are shown in Table 6.
[0082] Table 6. Test Results of Engineering Performance of Cement Slurry System
[0083]
[0084] As shown in Table 6, the water loss of the cement slurry prepared in Examples 1-5 is less than 50 ml / 30 min, the fluidity is in the range of 22-24 cm, which meets the technical requirements of cementing construction. The density difference between the upper and lower parts is small, the slurry has good stability, and the thickening time is controllable.
[0085] The test results of the cement paste are shown in Table 7. The cement paste was first cured in a high-temperature and high-pressure curing autoclave for 3 days to form a solid mass, and then transferred to a high-temperature and high-pressure corrosion reactor for further curing. The curing conditions in the high-temperature and high-pressure curing autoclave were 180℃ / 20.7MPa, and the curing conditions in the high-temperature and high-pressure corrosion reactor were 180℃, CO2 pressure 5MPa, and N2 partial pressure 5MPa.
[0086] Table 7 Cement stone test results
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] As shown in Table 7, the early compressive strength development of both the examples and the comparative examples was relatively rapid. Only the 3-day compressive strength of Examples 1 and 3 was slightly lower than that of Comparative Example 1. After being placed in a high-temperature and high-pressure corrosion autoclave for corrosion curing, the compressive strength of both examples and the comparative examples developed normally within a short period of time. However, when the corrosion age was extended to 28 days, the strength of Comparative Example 1 had already begun to decline, while the compressive strength of the examples maintained a slight increase, indicating that the corrosion resistance of the examples was better than that of the comparative example. From the results of the elastic modulus, due to the addition of wollastonite fibers, the elastic modulus of the examples was significantly reduced compared to the comparative example. The thermal conductivity of the examples was significantly increased compared to Comparative Example 1, indicating that the high thermal conductivity material described in this invention can effectively improve the thermal conductivity of cement paste.
[0090] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention and does not constitute any limitation on the invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the invention and within the spirit and principles of the invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the invention's technical solution.
