Flexible self-healing cement system
CemFIT Heal™ flexible self-healing cement system helps ensure well integrity from drilling to abandonment, providing an annular pressure seal and protecting against hydrocarbon leaks and sustained casing pressure at the wellhead. This versatile product is the only cement system in the industry that has the mechanical properties to withstand wellbore stresses and repairs itself on contact with oil or gas irrespective of methane content if isolation defects appear due to unforeseen circumstances.
Unlike conventional cement systems, CemFIT Heal system exhibits low Young's modulus that enables the set cement to withstand stresses (due to drilling, perforating, injection, hydraulic fracturing, underground gas storage, and changes in temperature, pressure, or both) and maintain the cement sheath integrity. On top of this inherent property, an expanding feature can be added to the CemFIT Heal system design to improve cement bonding and microannuli sealing to minimize the risk of unwanted gas migration.
The cement job is simple to design, with one standardized concentration of the self-sealing additives for an oil environment and another for gas. Blend, solid volume fraction (SVF), and slurry properties can be easily adjusted for optimal results to accommodate changes to cement designs and job programs. The CemFIT Heal system reduces emissions due to lower embodied carbon and by eliminating hydrocarbon leaks.
