Proposição: o trabalho busca descrever, por resultado histológico, o processo de reparo ósseo de cavidades cirurgicamente criadas avaliando a biocompatibilidade e osteocondutibilidade do cimento de α-fosfato tricálcico (CFtC) (SANTOS, 2002); e o comportamento da cicatrização óssea frente ao implante de CFtC comparada ao enxerto ósseo autógeno e à cavidade cirúrgica livre de enxerto. Metodologia: foram utilizados 30 ratos da raça Rattus novergicus albinus, Cepa Wistar, divididos em cinco grupos. O Grupo I correspondeu ao período de três; Grupo II, de sete; Grupo III, de 14; Grupo IV, de 21; Grupo V, de 60 dias pós-operatórios. Na diáfise óssea de cada fêmur direito, houve a confecção de três cavidades ósseas, sendo designadas: teste (T), na porção proximal do fêmur, que recebeu implantação do bloco de CFtC; controle positivo (C+), na porção distal, onde foi realizada a enxertia óssea autógena; e controle negativo (C-), na porção média, que permaneceu livre de enxerto. Resultados: aos três dias pós-operatórios, observou-se a presença de infiltrado inflamatório, hemácias e proliferação fibroblástica em T, C- e C+. Aos sete dias, a intensa neoformação óssea foi constatada nos grupos T e C+, o que não ocorreu no grupo C-. Nesse período, verificou-se início da reabsorção do CFtC pelas células do sistema fagocitário. Aos 14 dias, houve intensa atividade osteoblástica nos três grupos, assim como em 21 dias. Aos 60 dias pós-operatórios, nos grupos T, C- e C+, o osso neoformado assemelhou-se ao osso circundante, sendo que em C- e C+ verificou-se discreta solução de continuidade no osso cortical ostectomizado. Em T, não houve a oclusão do teto da cavidade. Conclusões: CFtC, formulado por Santos (2002), responde a biocompatibilidade e osteotransdutividade; o osso alveolar, em ratos, frente ao implante do CFtC e ao enxerto ósseo autógeno, realiza um processo de neoformação óssea, já no período de sete dias, assim, quando comparados, o grupo C- com os grupos T e C+, declara-se uma aceleração inicial do processo cicatricial nas cavidades preenchidas; e aos 60 dias, os grupos controles apresentaram cicatrização óssea quase total, sendo assim, sugere-se, experimentalmente, tempos de implantação superiores há 60 dias, para análise da reabsorção do cimento estudado (SANTOS, 2002).

A cinza de casca de arroz é um resíduo agro-industrial decorrente do processo de queima da casca de arroz, sendo largamente encontrada no Rio Grande do Sul, pois, historicamente, este Estado é o maior produtor de arroz no Brasil, com cerca de 45% da produção nacional. Empregada como fonte de energia, a casca de arroz é queimada em diversas empresas; algumas, devido à sua natureza, incorporam a cinza ao produto, mas a maioria não encontra outro destino que não o descarte em forma de aterro, criando, assim, um problema ambiental de poluição do solo, do ar e de rios e córregos. No entanto, devido à presença de elevado percentual de sílica (SiO2) na sua constituição, a cinza de casca de arroz pode ter vários empregos. Na construção civil, pode ser empregada como pozolana, conforme vários estudos já vêm demonstrando. Porém, encontra restrições por motivos como sua cor escura, que confere aos cimentos, argamassas e concretos aos quais é adicionada, uma coloração também escura, e a falta de uniformidade apresentada em termos de características químicas e, principalmente, mineralógicas. A cor escura não é um problema de ordem técnica, mas estética e de aceitação no mercado. Já a composição mineralógica está associada à atividade pozolânica e a falta de uniformidade do material disponível implica na incerteza do grau de reatividade. Este trabalho teve o objetivo de verificar a viabilidade técnica do emprego de cinzas de casca de arroz residuais na confecção de cimentos Portland composto e/ou pozolânico, a partir de beneficiamentos das mesmas, que associam tratamentos físicos, químicos e/ou térmicos, os quais têm como finalidade reverter e/ou minimizar os aspectos negativos citados. Para tanto, foram empregadas três cinzas de casca de arroz, oriundas de diferentes processos de produção e com composições mineralógicas distintas. Após definidos os tratamentos a serem aplicados, através de seleção pelos critérios de cor e composição mineralógica, as cinzas tratadas foram avaliadas quanto à sua pozolanicidade, pelo Índice de Atividade Pozolânica (IAP) da NBR 5752 e também por um IAP alterado, proposto neste trabalho. A produção de cimentos com CCA beneficiada se deu a partir de um cimento base com substituição por CCA, em massa e em diferentes percentuais. Tais cimentos foram avaliados quanto à resistência à compressão, aos tempos de pega, à pozolanicidade e à expansibilidade a quente. A análise dos dados obtidos indica que os tratamentos propostos e/ou a associação deles resultam em beneficio no desempenho das cinzas, em pelo menos um dos vários aspectos considerados. A presente pesquisa permite concluir que as CCA residuais têm potencial para serem empregadas na produção de cimentos, tanto aquelas menos cristalinas, quanto as mais cristalinas. Para tanto, devem ser beneficiadas, sendo pelo menos submetidas a tratamento físico para redução de sua granulometria. Se outros objetivos forem pretendidos, como coloração clara, os tratamentos térmico ou químico podem ser empregados.

Several problems related to the loss of hydraulic seal in oilwells, causing gas migration and/or contamination of the production zone by water, have been reported. The loss of the hydraulic seal is a consequence of cracks which can be occasioned either by the invasion of gas during the wait on cement or by the expansion of the casing causing the fracture of the cement sheath. In case of the pressure of the formation is higher than the pressure in the annulus, gas can migrate into the slurry and form microannulus, which are channels where gas migrates after the cement is set. Cracks can be also occasioned by the fracture of the cement sheath when it does not withstand the thermal and dynamic loads. In reservoirs where the oil is heavy, steam water injection operation is required in order to get the oil flowing. This operation increases the temperature of the casing, and then it expands and causes the fracture of the cement sheath in the annulus. When the failures on the cement are detected, remedial cementing is required, which raise costs caused by the interventions. Once the use of cement in the construction civil sector is older than its use in the petroleum sector, it is common to bring technologies and solutions from the civil construction and apply them on the petroleum area. In this context, vermiculite, a mineral-clay widely encountered in Brazil, has been used, on its exfoliated form, in the civil construction, especially on the manufacture of lights and fireproof concretes with excellent thermal and acoustical properties. It has already been reported in scientific journals, studies of the addition of exfoliated vermiculite in Portland cements revealing good properties related to oilwell cementing operations. Thus, this study aimed to study the rheological behavior, thickening time, stability and compressive strength of the slurries made of Portland cement and exfoliated vermiculite in 5 different compositions, at room temperature and heated. The results showed that the compressive strength decreased with the addition of exfoliated vermiculite, however the values are still allowed for oiwell cementing operations. The thickening time of the slurry with no exfoliated vermiculite was 120 min and the thickening time of the slurry with 12 % of exfoliated vermiculite was 98 min. The stability and the rheological behavior of the slurries revealed that the exfoliated vermiculite absorbed water and therefore increased the viscosity of the slurries, even though increasing the factor cement-water. The stability experiment carried out at 133 ºF showed that, there was neither sedimentation nor reduction of the volume of the cement for the slurry with 12 % of exfoliated vermiculite. Thus, the addition of exfoliated vermiculite accelerates the set time of the cement and gives it a small shrinkage during the wait on cement, which are important to prevent gas migration

One of the major current challenges for oilwell companies is the extraction of oil from evaporitic zones, also known as pre-salt basins. Deep reservoirs are found under thick salt layers formed from the evaporation of sea water. Salt layers seal the flow of oil from underneath rock formations, which store hydrocarbons and increase the probability of success in oil and gas exploration. Oilwells are cemented using Portland-based slurries to promote mechanical stability and zonal isolation. For pre-salt oilwells, NaCl must be added to saturate the cement slurries, however, the presence of salt in the composition of slurries affects their overall behavior. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of 5 to 25% NaCl on selected properties of Portland-based slurries. A series of tests were carried out to assess the rheological behavior, thickening time, free water and ultrassonic compressive strength. In addition, the slurries were also characterized by thermal analysis, X ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the addition of NaCl affected the thickening time of the slurries. NaCl contents up to 10% shortened the thickening time of the slurries. On the other hand, concentrations in excess of 20% not only extended the thickening time, but also reduced the strength of hardened slurries. The addition of NaCl resulted in the formation of a different crystalline phase called Friedel´s salt, where free chlorine is bonded to tricalcium aluminate

The present work is to study the characteristics and technological properties of soil-cement bricks made from binary and ternary mixtures of Portland cement, sand, water, with or without addition of gravel from the drilling of oil wells, which could be used by industry, aiming to improve its performance and reduce cost by using the residue and, consequently, increasing its useful life. The soil-cement bricks are one of the alternatives to masonry construction. These elements, after a short curing period, provide compressive strength similar to that of solid bricks and ceramic blocks, and the higher the resistance the higher the amount of cement used. We used the soil from the city of São José do Mipibu / RN, the banks of the River Baldun, cement CPIIZ-32 and residue of drill cuttings from oil wells drilling onshore wells in the town of Mossley, RN, provided Petrobras. To determine the optimum mix, we studied the inclusion of different residues (100%, 80%, 70%, 60% and 50%) where 15 bodies were made of the test piece. The assessment was made of bricks made from simple compression tests, mass loss by immersion and water absorption. The experimental results proved the efficiency and high utilization of the waste from the drilling of oil wells, making the brick-cement-soil residue with a higher strength and lower water absorption. The best result in terms of mechanical strength and water absorption for the ternary mixture was 10% soil, 14% cement and 80% residue. In terms of binary mixtures, we obtained the best result for the mix-cement residue, which was 14% cement incorporated in the residue

Oil wells subjected to cyclic steam injection present important challenges for the development of well cementing systems, mainly due to tensile stresses caused by thermal gradients during its useful life. Cement sheath failures in wells using conventional high compressive strength systems lead to the use of cement systems that are more flexible and/or ductile, with emphasis on Portland cement systems with latex addition. Recent research efforts have presented geopolymeric systems as alternatives. These cementing systems are based on alkaline activation of amorphous aluminosilicates such as metakaolin or fly ash and display advantageous properties such as high compressive strength, fast setting and thermal stability. Basic geopolymeric formulations can be found in the literature, which meet basic oil industry specifications such as rheology, compressive strength and thickening time. In this work, new geopolymeric formulations were developed, based on metakaolin, potassium silicate, potassium hydroxide, silica fume and mineral fiber, using the state of the art in chemical composition, mixture modeling and additivation to optimize the most relevant properties for oil well cementing. Starting from molar ratios considered ideal in the literature (SiO2/Al2O3 = 3.8 e K2O/Al2O3 = 1.0), a study of dry mixtures was performed,based on the compressive packing model, resulting in an optimal volume of 6% for the added solid material. This material (silica fume and mineral fiber) works both as an additional silica source (in the case of silica fume) and as mechanical reinforcement, especially in the case of mineral fiber, which incremented the tensile strength. The first triaxial mechanical study of this class of materials was performed. For comparison, a mechanical study of conventional latex-based cementing systems was also carried out. Regardless of differences in the failure mode (brittle for geopolymers, ductile for latex-based systems), the superior uniaxial compressive strength (37 MPa for the geopolymeric slurry P5 versus 18 MPa for the conventional slurry P2), similar triaxial behavior (friction angle 21° for P5 and P2) and lower stifness (in the elastic region 5.1 GPa for P5 versus 6.8 GPa for P2) of the geopolymeric systems allowed them to withstand a similar amount of mechanical energy (155 kJ/m3 for P5 versus 208 kJ/m3 for P2), noting that geopolymers work in the elastic regime, without the microcracking present in the case of latex-based systems. Therefore, the geopolymers studied on this work must be designed for application in the elastic region to avoid brittle failure. Finally, the tensile strength of geopolymers is originally poor (1.3 MPa for the geopolymeric slurry P3) due to its brittle structure. However, after additivation with mineral fiber, the tensile strength became equivalent to that of latex-based systems (2.3 MPa for P5 and 2.1 MPa for P2). The technical viability of conventional and proposed formulations was evaluated for the whole well life, including stresses due to cyclic steam injection. This analysis was performed using finite element-based simulation software. It was verified that conventional slurries are viable up to 204ºF (400ºC) and geopolymeric slurries are viable above 500ºF (260ºC)

The Potiguar basin has large fields of viscous oil where the used method for recovering is based on vapor injection; this operation is carried out by injecting vapor in the oilwell directly, without the protection of a revetment through thermal insulation, what causes its dilation and, consequently, cracks in the cement placed on the annular, and lost of hydraulic insulation; this crack is occasioned by the phenomenon of retrogression of the compressive resistance due to the conversion of the hydrated calcium silicate in phases calcium-rich, caused by the high temperatures in the wells, subjected to thermal recuperation. This work has evaluated the application of composite pastes with addition of residue of biomass of ground sugar-cane bagasse as anti-retrogression mineral admixture for cementation of oil-wells subjected to thermal recuperation. The addition of the mineral residue was carried out considering a relative amount of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 59% in relation to cement mass, trying to improve the microstructure of the paste, still being developed a reference paste only with cement and a paste with addition of 40% of silica flour - renowned material in the oil industry as anti-retrogression additive. Pozzolanic activity of the ash was evaluated through XRD, TG/DTG, as the resistance to compression, and it was also determined the physical and mechanical behavior of the pastes when submitted to cure at low temperatures (22 and 38º C); besides it was evaluated the behavior of the pastes when submitted to two cycles of cure at high temperature (280ºC) and pressure (7 MPa). It was verified that the ash of the sugar-cane biomass presents pozzolanic reaction and has great efficiency in decrease the permeability of the paste by filler effect, as well as that addition of ash in a relative amount of 10, 20 e 30% increases cured compressive resistance at low temperatures. It was also showed that the ash in a relative amount of 40% and 59% has very significant efficiency as anti-retrogression additive, since it prevents the decrease of compressive resistance and forms hydrated calcium silicate type xenotlita and tobermorita which have more resistance and stability in high temperatures

Primary cementing is one of the main operations in well drilling responsible for the mechanical stability and zonal isolation during the production of oil. However, the cement sheath is constantly under mechanical stresses and temperature variations caused by the recovery of heavy oil. In order to minimize fracture and wear of the cement sheath, new admixtures are developed to improve the properties of Portland cement slurries and avoid environmental contamination caused by leaking gas and oil. Polymers with the ability to form polymeric films are candidates to improve the properties of hardened cement slurries, especially their fracture energy. The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of the addition of a chitosan suspension on cement slurries in order to improve the properties of the cement and increase its performance on heavy oil recovery. Chitosan was dissolved in acetic ac id (0.25 M and 2 M) and added to the formulation of the slurries in different concentrations. SEM analyses confirmed the formation of polymeric films in the cementitious matrix. Strength tests showed higher fracture energy compared to slurries without the addition of chitosan. The formation of the polymeric films also reduced the permeability of the slurry. Therefore, chitosan suspensions can be potentially used as cementing admixtures for heavy oil well applications

Cementing operations are conducted at different times of the well s life and they have high importance, because the functions are fundamental to keep good properties during a long life of the well, such as, maintain the mechanical stability of the well, to promote the isolation hydraulic and support the tubing. In some situations, the rocky zones have low fractures pressures and require the use of lightweight slurries to prevent the hydrostatic pressure in the formation is greater than the pressure of fracture. There are three ways to reduce the density of cement slurries: exterders water additives, microspheres and foamed slurries. The most used extender water additive is sodium bentonite, which is a clay with a good capacity of water absorption and expansion of its volume, the main disadvantage of this additive is the reduction of the strength. Currently, the use of nanoscale particles has received special attention, mainly because they get new functionalities. Following this trend, this paper aims to use a colloidal solution of nano-silica as an exterders water additives for use in oil wells. Slurries were designed with fixed 13lb/gal density and concentration of nano silica 0.1 gpc; 0.4 gpc; 0.7 and 1gpc, the influence of nano-silica was studied at these levels in isolation and combined varying concentrations of CaCl2,. Tests including rheology, stability, strength, thickening time, porosity and permeability. Besides the API tests, microstructural characterizations were performed after 28 days of the slurries, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
