循环载荷对高温环境水泥石微观结构及力学性能的影响

Effect of Cyclic Loading on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Cement Stone in High-Temperature Environments

  • 摘要: 深层、超深层非常规油气压裂开发对水泥环在高温环境中交变载荷作用下的力学性能及密封完整性提出了更高的要求,亟需明确高温环境下水泥石力学性能的变化规律,为提升深层油气井水泥环密封能力提供支撑。采用力学加载、电镜扫描(SEM)和核磁共振(NMR)方法,测试了高温环境及循环载荷作用下水泥石宏观力学性能的变化、塑性残余应变的变化和加载前后水泥石的微观孔隙结构,揭示了水泥石微观结构的演化规律,构建了水泥石累积塑性残余应变的本构关系。研究结果表明,养护温度越高,水泥石的平均孔径和孔隙率越大,水泥石弹性模量降低的同时,加载后水泥石塑性残余应变越大;随着循环次数增加,循环加卸载形成的滞回环曲线呈先疏后密的特点;微观结构力学分析结果显示,循环载荷作用下水泥石中狭长孔(b/a>100)的坍塌压缩是水泥石塑性残余应变的主要诱因;深层井下高温环境中,可通过颗粒级配和纳米颗粒材料提升水泥环的致密性、降低其孔径及孔隙率,以降低循环载荷引起的微观孔隙劣化和宏观残余应变。研究结果对研究保证高温环境下水泥环密封能力水泥浆体系和优化固井工艺具有指导作用。

     

    Abstract: The development of deep and ultra-deep unconventional oil and gas fracturing imposes higher requirements on the mechanical properties and sealing integrity of cement sheaths under cyclic load in high-temperature environments. There is an urgent need to clarify the variation patterns of cement stone’s mechanical properties under high-temperature conditions to support the enhancement of cement sheath sealing capacity in deep oil and gas wells. By applying mechanical loading, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tests to investigate the macroscopic mechanical performance changes, plastic residual strain changes, and the evolution of the microscopic pore structure of cement stone under high-temperature environments and cyclic loads, the evolution laws of the microstructure of cement stone were revealed, and the constitutive relationship of cumulative plastic residual strain of cement stone was constructed. The research results show that a higher curing temperature means a larger average pore size and porosity of the cement stone and a lower elastic modulus of the cement stone. At the same time, the plastic residual strain of the cement stone after loading increases. With the increase in the number of cycles, the hysteresis loop curve formed by cyclic loading and unloading becomes increasingly dense from sparse. The results of the microstructure mechanical analysis show that the collapse and compression of the elongated pores (b/a>100) in the cement stone under cyclic loading are the main causes of the plastic residual strain of the cement stone. In deep and high-temperature underground environments, the cement sheath’s compactness can be enhanced through particle grading and nano-particle materials, while the pore size and porosity can be reduced to minimize the microscopic pore deterioration and macroscopic residual strain caused by cyclic loads. The research results have significant guiding significance for optimizing the cement slurry system and well cementing techniques that can enhance the sealing ability of the cement sheath in high-temperature environments.
