The Impact of Carbon Dioxide Fluid Environments on the Integrity of Cement Sheath and Bonding Interfaces of a Wellbore
摘要
With the growing adoption of CCUS-EOR (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage-Enhanced Oil Recovery) projects, wellbore integrity under CO2 exposure has become a critical concern. High-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP) conditions exacerbate CO2-induced corrosion, threatening cement sheath and casing integrity, potentially leading to leakage and environmental hazards. This study investigates CO2 corrosion effects on two cement systems (conventional and hollow-particle-modified) and three casing materials (Q125, 3Cr, 13Cr). Static corrosion experiments were conducted at 80-120°C and CO2 partial pressures of 15-30 MPa (50-100% concentration) for 28 days. Phase composition and microstructure were analyzed via XRD and SEM, while interface integrity was evaluated pre- and post-corrosion. Cement Systems: Both systems formed similar hydration products (e.g., calcium silicate hydrates), but System #2 (with hollow particles) exhibited additional SiO2 and C5S2CO3 phases, enhancing high-temperature stability. Postcorrosion, SiO2 dominated as the primary product, with CaCO3 transitioning from calcite (≤90°C) to aragonite (>110°C). System #2 showed denser microstructures and reduced porosity, indicating superior corrosion resistance. After corrosion, Q125 and 3Cr interfaces exhibited cement loosening and micro-pores, while 13Cr interfaces remained intact. System #2 paired with 13Cr casing demonstrated minimal degradation, highlighting optimal sealing integrity. The hollow-particle-modified cement (System #2) improves corrosion resistance, particularly when combined with 13Cr casing. These findings provide critical insights for designing durable wellbore systems in CCUS-EOR applications, mitigating leakage risks under HTHP CO2 environments.
