Use of concrete technology to improve performance of lightweight cements. Anon. JPT, August 1998, 50(8), 74, 75. (Synopsis SPE paper 39276).
Details are given of a new engineering approach to designing lightweight concrete slurries that allows the physical properties of a set cement to be decoupled from the slurry density. Granulometric optimization of a lightweight dry blend based on packing principles used in the concrete industry permits the design of reduced-water slurries. Use of such slurries results in reduced rig time waiting on cement, simplified logistics, improved plug placement, and elimination of remedial cementing costs.
