    Flexible Thermal Cement

    The document discusses Sanjel's development of a new flexible thermal cement system that has greater flexibility than traditional thermal cement blends of equivalent density. As wells experience more extreme temperatures and stresses, conventional cement may no longer provide long-term zonal isolation. Sanjel's new cement blend has a 32% reduction in Young's modulus, allowing it to better withstand stresses over the life of the wellbore. The flexible thermal cement system offers improved zonal isolation through low viscosity placement and expansion to prevent microannulus formation.

    Coming soon from Sanjel,

    Cement Technology in Modern Wells

    the next generation

    As a result of rapidly-evolving well completion techniques, the stresses


    experienced by the cement sheath are increasing. From extreme
    temperature cycling in SAGD injection wells, to multistage fracturing
    operations, cement is being exposed to thermal and cyclic stress
    gradients that traditional cement formulations did not anticipate.
    Even with successful cement placement, conventional cement blends
    with high compressive strengths and high Youngs moduli, may no longer
    provide long-term zonal isolation.

    thermal cementing solution.


    A high density system
    with improved FLEXIBILITY,
    extending well-life and
    ensuring complete
    zonal isolation.

    Thermal Cement Blends with Reduced


    Youngs Moduli

    Sanjels latest innovation in cement technology is the development


    of a high density, expandable thermal cement system, that has far greater
    flexibility than traditional thermal blends of equivalent density.
    Physical characteristics such as Youngs modulus are now widely
    recognized as critical factors in determining the durability and resilience
    of the cement sheath. Sanjels new approach re-optimizes the mechanical
    properties of thermal cement blends to ensure integrity and performance
    over the complete life cycle of the wellbore.
