Abstract
A variety of methods and compositions are included, without limitation, a method of cementing includes providing a settable composition comprising water and a cementitious component having a determined reactive index; and allowing the settable composition to set to form a hardened mass.
Claims24
A method of cementing comprising:
- providing a settable composition comprising water and a cementitious component having a determined reactive index;
- wherein the particle size of the cementitious component has been adjusted to adjust the determined reactive index;
- and
- allowing the settable composition to set to form a hardened mass.
1 more element
A method of cementing comprising:
- providing a settable composition comprising water and a cementitious component having a determined reactive index;
- wherein the particle size of the cementitious component has been reduced by way of grinding to adjust the determined reactive index;
- and
- allowing the settable composition to set to form a hardened mass.
1 more element
A method of cementing comprising:
- providing a settable composition comprising water and a cementitious component having a determined reactive index;
- wherein the determined reactive index is a measured parameter of the cementitious component divided by the specific surface area of the cementitious component;
- and
- allowing the settable composition to set to form a hardened mass.
1 more element
A method of measuring reactivity of a cementitious component comprising:
- measuring a parameter of the cementitious component, the cementitious component having a specific surface area;
- and
- dividing the measured parameter by the specific surface area of the cementitious component to obtain a reactive index for the cementitious component.
