Article Synopsis
- The cement sheath is essential for well barriers, providing zonal isolation, corrosion protection for casing, and mechanical support, crucial as the petroleum industry moves toward deep unconventional resources.
- Increased complexities in the environment, such as high temperatures and pressures, raise the risk of cement sheath failure, driving a focus on analyzing stress distribution and failure modes in the casing-cement formation system.
- The paper reviews theoretical research on cement sheath integrity, covering failure concepts, constitutive and analytical models, and numerical simulations, aiming to enhance understanding and inform future practices and research.
The chemical cleaning method is the simplest approach for degreasing oil-based drilling cuttings (ODCs), with the effectiveness of the treatment relying mainly on the selection of the surfactant and the cleaning conditions. However, achieving the standard treatment of ODCs directly using conventional surfactants proves challenging. In light of this, this study introduces a synthesized and purified Gemini surfactant named DCY-1.
