Abstract

Procedures include designing parameters for cementation jobs based upon the wellbore geometries and loading conditions. The cementation parameters such as Young's modulus are selected such that longitudinal crack propagation is inhibited. Procedures also include determining critical loading conditions for an already-cemented casing annulus based upon the specified cement properties and wellbore conditions. The critical loading conditions are determined such that longitudinal crack propagation in the cement is inhibited. Techniques are used to improve the friction coefficients between the casing and cement to inhibit longitudinal crack propagation. The treatments can include forming surface patterns that enhance friction and/or making the casing surface oleophopic and/or hydrophilic.
