Cement bond to rock and steel: the Achilles heel of well integrity
Portland cement is the most common material used in the construction and plugging of wells – however, cement bond to other materials is the weakest link in the well’s integrity. At the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS), new methods have been developed to measure bond strength, as well as evaluate them under more realistic field conditions.
