## Abstract

A method of forming a wellbore cement that includes a cross-linked polyamide. The polyamide is formed by reacting a di-functional amine with an aromatic tri-functional carboxylic acid. The wellbore cement composition is created by blending cement and water with the polyamide and then allowed to cure. Increases in compressive strength, Young's Modulus, and Poisson's Ratio of the cement were realized by adding the polyamide to the cement composition.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of forming a cement composition for use in a wellbore comprising:
forming a cross linked polyamide by combining a trifunctional carboxylic acid with a diamine;
combining an amount of cement, water, and the polyamide to form a mixture; and
curing the mixture to from a cement composition.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, where the polyamide comprises about 3% by weight of the cement, and where the water comprises about 42% by weight of the cement.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, where the polyamide comprises a polyaramide having a molecular weight that ranges from about 189 Daltons to about 555 Daltons.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, where the diamine is selected from the group consisting of ethylenediamine, 1,3-diaminobenzene, 1,4-diaminobenzene, 1,6-diaminohexane, 1,4-phenylenediamine, and combinations.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, where the diamine comprises 1,6-diaminohexane and is mixed with sebacoyl chloride.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, where the step of curing the cement takes place inside of a wellbore.
