Abstract:

This paper is to introduce the formulation of the innovative nanolime-geopolymer NLGP and its application in gas wells as a replacement for the traditional cement. The new mix is composed of nanolime NL, fly ash, sodium hydroxide, and sodium silicate. The compressive strengths of NLGP are measured using different molarities, and ratios of its components to compare and evaluate the results. After that, a detailed profit study in USD will show the profitability of NLGP compared to other types of current cement and the possibility of its manufacturing. Also, a separate comparison to cement fly ash CF was done. Finally, the “deep water horizon” incident will be used as a case study to indicate the applicability of NLGP in such cases for stopping gas channeling which occurs due to cement job failure.
