Abstract
Methods of wellbore cementing are provided. A method of designing a cement composition may include: selecting a target heat of hydration for a target time and temperature; selecting one or more cementitious components and a weight percent for each of the one or more cementitious components such that a sum of a heat of hydration of the one or more cementitious components is less than or equal to the target heat of hydration; preparing the cement composition; and allowing the cement composition to set.
Claims19
A method of designing a cement composition for use in a wellbore, the method comprising:
- selecting a target heat of hydration for a target time and temperature,
- wherein the target heat of hydration is for setting of the cement composition in the wellbore,
- wherein the target time is a setting time to reach the target heat of hydration, and
- wherein the temperature is a setting temperature for the cement composition;
- selecting one or more cementitious components and a weight percent for each of the one or more cementitious components for the cement composition;
- determining an approximate heat of hydration for the cement composition for the target time and the temperature,
- wherein the approximate heat of hydration is a sum of a component heat of hydration for each of the one or more cementitious components,
- wherein the component heat of hydration is obtained from a database comprising calorimetric data for each of the one or more cementitious components,
- wherein the one or more cementitious components and the weight percent is selected such that the approximate heat of hydration is less than or equal to the target heat of hydration;
- preparing the cement composition;
- and
- allowing the cement composition to set.
