Abstract
A method may include: introducing a resin modified cement slurry into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, the subterranean formation comprising a caprock and a carbon dioxide injection zone, the resin modified cement slurry comprising: a resin; a hardener; a hydraulic cement; and water; and setting the resin modified cement slurry to form a set cement wherein the set cement forms a carbonation-resistant barrier in the carbon dioxide injection zone in the subterranean formation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- introducing a resin modified cement slurry into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, the subterranean formation comprising a caprock and a carbon dioxide injection zone, the resin modified cement slurry comprising:
- a resin, wherein the resin comprises a cycloalkene and at least one resin selected from the group consisting of cyclic olefins, phenol-aldehyde resins, urea-aldehyde resins, urethane resins, furan resins, furan and furfuryl alcohol resins, latex resins, phenol formaldehyde resins, butoxymethyl butyl glycidyl ether resins, bisphenol A-epichlorohydrin resins, bisphenol F resins, diglycidyl ether bisphenol F resin, cyclohexane dimethanol diglycidyl ether, glycidyl ether resins, polyester resins and hybrids and copolymers thereof, polyurethane resins and hybrids and copolymers thereof, acrylate resins, polyepoxide resins, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether resins, polyamine resins, and combinations thereof;
- a hardener, wherein the hardener comprises a transition metal compound catalyst, wherein the transition metal compound catalyst comprises a catalyst having a structure selected from the group consisting of:
- where M is ruthenium or osmium, R and R1 are independently selected from hydrogen, C2-C20 alkenyl, C2-C20 alkynyl, C2-C20 alkyl, aryl, C1-C20 carboxylate, C1-C20 alkoxy, C2-C20 alkenyloxy, C2-C20 alkynyloxy, aryloxy, C2-C20 alkoxycarbonyl, C1-C20 alkylthio, C1-C20 alkylsulfonyl or C1-C20 alkyl sulfinyl, X and X1 are each an anionic ligand, L and L1 are each a neutral electron donor, and NHC is an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand;
- a hydraulic cement;
- and
- water;
- and
- setting the resin modified cement slurry to form a set cement wherein the set cement forms a carbonation-resistant barrier in the carbon dioxide injection zone in the subterranean formation.
