Investigation of chemically bonded phosphate ceramics/cements and applicability of magnesium potassium phosphate cements as wellbore sealants in the oil & gas industry
Cementing jobs especially in arctic regions and/or geothermal fields in the oil and gas industry pose significant challenges and demand critical mechanical properties on cements. Researchers propose that chemically bonded phosphate ceramics/cements (CBPC) can successfully be used as wellbore sealant...
