Abstract

The article analyzes the state of hydrocarbon production potential of Ukraine with a review of oil and gas hard-to-recover reserves. Ensuring reliable delineation of horizons needs the forming of cement stone with appropriate characteristics. The importance of forming a high-quality insulating screen for oil and gas wells is confirmed, both in terms of hydrocarbon production and in terms of labor safety and environmental impact. The main technological parameters of the plugging mud based on material DRCT and cement PCT I-100, as well as their physical-and-mechanical properties of cement stone, were determined. According to the results of the research, both in terms of the parameters of the plugging mud and the physical-and-mechanical properties of the cement stone, an advantage and improved values of indicators were obtained for the plugging material based on composite cement DRCT compared to cement PCT I-100. T It was found that the formed cement stone based on material DRCT has a densely packed structure. The permeability of cement stone samples based on DRCT in fresh and formation water storage was evaluated. The gas permeability for the researched samples is almost the same, which indicates the absence of a degrading effect on the cement stone. The obtained results indicate that the material DRCT is suitable for cementing oil and gas well casing. The results of the introduction of the plugging material based on DRCT during the cementing of casing string diameter 127 mm in well No. 105 of the Verkhnyomaslovetske field confirmed the success of its application.
