Cementing of geothermal wells poses a uniq … Cementing of geothermal wells poses a unique challenge because these wells need to operate in the harsh environment of high temperature and/or high pressure. The current state of the art in geothermal well cementing is limited primarily to a proprietary blend of fly ash-modified calcium aluminate phosphate cement or CaP cement. Although CaP cements appear to perform effectively once placed, their use requires meticulous planning far above and beyond a normal cementing operations, and has unpredictable results, which tend to increase cost and limit their widespread use.rease cost and limit their widespread use.

- Find the right type of zeolite, and its … - Find the right type of zeolite, and its optimum blend with silica flour and other additives to achieve the cement characteristics desirable for geothermal applications.
<br />- A systematic, iterative approach will be used to test a large number of zeolite cement samples and shortlist them in order to identify potential cement compositions suitable for geothermal applications.
<br />- Cements will be field tested in geothermal wells.
Successful completion of the project will result in the development of a cementing solution for geothermal wells that is cost effective as well as logistically simple. This should greatly enhance rapid deployment of geothermal energy as a renewable energy source in USA, thereby reducing the flow of US dollars to petroleum exporting countries. dollars to petroleum exporting countries.
