Abstract
A high temperature cement system including a carbon-containing, low volatile material additive admixed with cement in proportions sufficient to provide a fixed carbon content of at least 0.02 wt.%. Additives include anthracite, calcined coke, uncalcined coke and burned oil shale.
Claims7
A method for cementing a casing in a well bore by placing cement in an annular space between the walls of the well bore and said casing, the method comprising:
- forming a high temperature cement system comprising oil well cement and carbon-containing cement additive, said cement additive having not more than about 15 wt.% of volatile material and being present in said cement system in at least an amount effective to improve the resistance to degradation of the ultimate permeability and compressive strength of said system due to high temperature and up to 20 wt.% of said cement system;
- adding a liquid vehicle to said cement system to form a hardenable slurry;
- and
- introducing said slurry into the annular space between the casing and the wall of the well bore whereby upon hardening, said cement resists degradation of its ultimate compressive strength and permeability when exposed to temperatures of on the order of 400.degree. F.
