Direct Imaging and Subsequent Modeling of the Cement Microstructure and Integrity of Cement/Casing and Cement/Formation Interfaces
DownloadFall 2020
As a key component of the wellbore barrier system, cement provides zonal isolation and structural support during the entire life of a well. However, even when the cement is properly placed in the well, the zonal isolation may be lost over time. Failure to establish and maintain an effective...
