Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Nano-SiO2 Geopolymer Cement Cured under Elevated Conditions towards Acid Invasions

In completing drilling operation, cementing job is conducted to restrict fluid movement between the formations and to bond and support the casing. Several factors may affect the mechanical properties of oilwell cement, including elevated condition and acid stimulation. Besides having mechanical prop...
