Abstract
A cement slurry composition, containing hydraulic cement, water, and from 1 to less than 4% of an organically modified nanoclay. A method for cementing a high pressure high temperature well by pumping the cement composition of claim 1 between a casing and a formation of a well bore to fill a gap between the casing and the formation, and allowing the cement to harden.
Claims14
A dry cement blend composition comprising:
- silica flour,
- a dispersant,
- a hydraulic cement and
- an organically modified nanoclay, wherein the organically modified nanoclay is present in an amount of from 1% to less than 4% by weight of the hydraulic cement,
- wherein the organically modified nanoclay is a montmorillonite nanoclay formed from chlorite clay mineral having octahedral sheets where Fe or Mg is a central cation, and
- wherein the organically modified nanoclay is modified by a quaternary organo-ammonium salt and comprises nanolayers of less than 1 nm in thickness and about 2-10 microns in width or length.
