TEST EXAMPLE 2

[0067] In this test example, each of the high temperature resistant Portland cement slurries of Examples 1-4 and the cement slurries of Comparative Examples 1-2 was filled into a strength mold to make a cement stone, and then cured at 70 C.20.7 MPa for 3 days to form an initial state, and then cured at 350 C.20.7 MPa for 7 days to form a first round, and then cured at 350 C.20.7 MPa for every 10 days to form a round, and the compressive strength of the cement stone was tested after each curing round. Table 2 shows the strength test results of the high temperature resistant Portland cement stones of Examples 1-4 and the cement stones made by cement slurries of Comparative Examples 1-2 after different rounds of curing. As known from the data in the table below, the compressive strengths of the high temperature resistant Portland cement stones developed by the present application exceed 40 MPa, and the long-term strengths do not decline; while the cement stones of the Comparative Examples have compressive strengths of less than 10 MPa, and the long-term strengths are severely degraded. Therefore, the performance of the high temperature resistant Portland cement slurry system is superior to that of the cement slurry system of the Comparative Examples.

[0068] It can be seen from Table 2 that the oil well Portland cement slurry produced in Comparative Example 1 has been ruptured after 10 days, one round of curing at 350 C.20.7 MPa, and the oil well aluminate slurry produced in Comparative Example 2 has a loose structure after 10 days, one round of curing at 350 C.20.7 MPa. The high temperature resistant Portland cement slurries produced in Examples 1-2 are more resistant to high temperatures and high pressures than the common oil well Portland cement slurries and oil well aluminate cement slurries in Comparative Examples 1-2, while keeping a complete cement stone structure after 40 days, four rounds of curing.

[0069] In conclusion, the high temperature resistant Portland cement slurry provided by the invention has a good sedimentation stability, and the strength develops rapidly at low temperature, meeting the cementing demand in the early stage of the heavy oil steam injection thermal recovery. Moreover, the high temperature resistant Portland cement slurry provided by the invention has a compressive strength of up to 40 MPa or more at a high temperature of 350 C., and the long-term high-temperature compressive strength develops stably without degradation, reaching the level of Grade G Portland cement for cementing oil and gas well. As compared with Comparative Examples 1-2, the high temperature resistant Portland cement slurry provided by the invention has a cost reduced by about half than the price of aluminate cement or aluminophosphate cement, and does not need to separately develop the admixture and equipment for non-Portland cement, which greatly saves the cost for developing the cement slurry admixture and equipment. Most importantly, because the high temperature resistant Portland cement slurry provided by the invention has a similar system to the conventional Portland cement, the contact would not result in flocculation and thickening, and the compatibility is good, which improves the safety of cementing construction and greatly reduces the cost of cementing construction work.
