| Abstract: | Cementing operations is one of the most critical operations in drilling and completion of oil and gas wells. For these reasons, special additives are added to oilfield cements like class G cement to enhance its properties for specific well conditions. Generally, the additives and class G cement employed in the industry are not readily available in the Ghanaian market and are therefore imported, which comes as an added cost. This work therefore studied the effects of locally produced Water Hyacinth Ash (WHA) harvested from water bodies as additive to enhance the properties of local Portland cement for possible oil and gas well cementing operation. The Ash and local Portland cement were characterised using SEM, XRD and XRF. The Chandler Engineering Mixer Model 3060 was used for blending the cement slurry in accordance with API-RP-10B and ANSI/API Specification 10A at a cement to water ration of 0.46 and ash additive to cement in percentages of 1% – 5%. Rheological properties were done at 125.6 oF. Curings were done at 140 °F at atmospheric pressure and at 3 000 psi and 170 °F at 3,000 psi. The results obtained were also compared with Commercial Silica (CS) used in the industry as additive to enhance cement performance at higher temperatures. From the results, the local Portland cement blended well with the WHA and CS. Also, the WHA compared favourably with the CS for all physical properties tested. It was established that the WHA gave an optimum result at a concentration of 2%. To help protect our water bodies, champion local content participation during cementing operations, it is recommended that WHA and local Portland cement should be used in cementing shallow wells respectively. |
