Abstract The effect of RHA on Compressive Strength as well as other parameters like Consistency and Rheological properties etc. on Class G cement slurry is studied. The following additives were used; Rice Husk Ash (for Compressive Strength), Guinea Corn Husk Ash (Retarder) and other liquid additives which are fluid Loss Additive, Antifoam, Dispersant, Retarder and Water in the formulation of the cement slurry. This research is a comparative analysis based on experimental study on the effectiveness of the various additives on the cement slurry using pure Class G cement slurry combined with all liquid additives as a control. At a Bottomhole Circulating Temperature of 140°C, the Compressive Strength tests carried out on the slurry samples showed that the strength of the concrete increases as the concentration of the RHA increases with time of curing, also the compressive strength started to increase. The best Compressive Strength result was obtained with the percentages of cement replaced by 13.01% RHA. The strength showed impressive increase with time, with highest compressive strength encountered in 24 hours. The Thickening Time of the set Cement Slurry was considered using Class G cement and different percentage of RHA. The final Thickening Time decreases with increase in Rice Husk Ash. Decrease in the setting time was noticeable from 1.87 hrs (at 13.01% RHA) from 40bc to 100 bc. At BHST of 700°C increasing the ash concentration resulted in decrease in the Plastic Viscosities (PV) and increase in the Yield Points of the slurries. The results indicate that the slurries formulated using this ash has viscosities which are within the recommended values showing it is desirable to pump such slurry. For both 124°C and Bottom Hole Pressure of 7700psi the amount of fluid loss increases as the percentage of RHA added increases but it is below 50cp which is acceptable.

The increasing demand and consumption of cement have necessitated the use of slag, fly ash, rice husk ash (RHA), and so forth as a supplement of cement in concrete construction. The aim of the study is to develop a zero-cement binder (Z-Cem) using slag, fly ash, and RHA combined with chemical activator. NaOH, Ca(OH)2, and KOH were used in varying weights and molar concentrations. Z-Cem was tested for its consistency, setting time, flow, compressive strength, XRD, SEM, and FTIR. The consistency and setting time of the Z-Cem paste increase with increasing RHA content. The Z-Cem mortar requires more superplasticizer to maintain a constant flow of110±5% compared with OPC. The compressive strength of the Z-Cem mortar is significantly influenced by the amounts, types, and molar concentration of the activators. The Z-Cem mortar achieves a compressive strength of 42–44 MPa at 28 days with 5% NaOH or at 2.5 molar concentrations. The FTIR results reveal that molecules in the Z-Cem mortar have a silica-hydrate (Si-H) bond with sodium or other inorganic metals (i.e., sodium/calcium-silica-hydrate-alumina gel). Therefore, Z-Cem could be developed using the aforementioned materials with the chemical activator.

The increasing demand and consumption of cement have necessitated the use of slag, fly ash, rice husk ash (RHA), and so forth as a supplement of cement in concrete construction. The aim of the study is to develop a replacement of the cement with rice husk ash and slag combined with chemical activator. NaOH, Ca(OH)2, and KOH were used in varying weights and molar concentrations. Partial replacement of cement was tested for its consistency, setting time, flow, compressive strength, and fire. The consistency and setting time of the Partial Z-Cement (Zero cement) paste increase with increasing RHA content. The replacement of cement mortar achieves a compressive strength of 22–25MPa at  28 days with 5% NaOH or at 2.5or non used activator molar concentrations. The tested slabs were made of concrete and reinforced with bars with 10 mm diameter having and compressive strength evaluated from the compressive tests. The analysis of the slab deflection behavior has been presented after fire of samples. The results show the different character of the load-deflection relationship of a replacement of the cement with rice husk ash and slag reinforced slabs compared to traditionally reinforced slabs.

AbstractCellulose-based polymers have been successfully used in many areas of petroleum engineering especially in enhanced oil recovery drilling fluid, fracturing and cementing. This paper presents the application of cellulose-based polymer in oil well cementing. These polymers work as multifunctional additive in cement slurry that reduce the quantity of additives and lessen the operational cost of cementing operation. The viscosity of cellulose polymers such as hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) has been determined at various temperatures to evaluate the thermal degradation. Moreover, polymers are incorporated in cement slurry to evaluate the properties and affect in cement slurry at 90 °C. The API properties like rheology, free water separation, fluid loss and compressive strength of slurries with and without polymer have been determined at 90 °C. The experimental results showed that the viscosity of HPMC polymer was enhanced at 90 °C than other cellulose-based polymers. The comparative and experimental analyses showed that the implementation of cellulose-based polymers improves the API properties of cement slurry at 90 °C. The increased viscosity of these polymers showed high rheology that was adjusted by adding dispersant which optimizes the rheology of slurry. Further, improved API properties, i.e., zero free water separation, none sedimentation, less than 50 ml/30 min fluid loss and high compressive strength, were obtained through HEC, CMC and HPMC polymer. It is concluded that cellulose-based polymers are efficient and effective in cement slurry that work as multifunctional additive and improve API properties and cement durability. The cellulose-based polymers work as multifunctional additive that reduces the quantity of other additives in cement slurry and ultimately reduces the operational cost of cementing operation. The comparative analysis of this study opens the window for petroleum industry for proper selection of cellulose-based polymer in designing of cement slurry.

Cement is an important part in oil and gas well completion. A high quality of cement is required to seal hydraulic pressure between casing and borehole formation. Cement additives were used to enhance the cement properties such as thickening time, compressive strength, porosity and permeability of the cement. Currently, the commercial additives were imported and the price is keep increasing year by year. Therefore, the researchers were continuously looking for potential additives such as nanoparticle to improve the cement properties. This paper presents the effect nanosilica on compressive strength and porosity of oil well cement type G. In this study, two type of nanosilica were used, synthesis nanosilica from rice husk ash (RHA) and commercial nanosilica. The synthesized nanosilica was characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray flouresece (XRF) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). All the experiments were conducted using API standard procedures and specifications. Based on the results, compressive strength of cement slurries was improved from 2600 psi to 2800 psi for 8-hours curing, when the amount of nanosilica increased from 0 wt% to 1.5 wt%. Besides that, incorporation of nanosilica from RHA into cement formulation resulted in reduction of cement porosity up to 18 % pore volume. Overall, the results showed that the incorporation of nanosilica from RHA improved the oil well cement compressive strength and oil well cement porosity. In conclusion, green nanosilica from RHA can be a potential candidate to replace the commercial nanosilica to enhance the oil well cement properties as well as to prevent the migration of undesirable fluid which can lead to major blowout.

This research assessed the effect of Nigerian rice husk ash (RHA) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) as partial replacement of cement in concrete grade 20. Rice husk ash (RHA) is obtained by combustion of rice husk in a controlled temperature. The replacement of OPC with rice husk ash (RHA) were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. 1% of Calcium Chloride was blended with OPC/RHA in all the test specimens except from control mix. Concrete cubes of sizes 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were cast and cured in water for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. Slump test was conducted on fresh concrete while density test and compressive strength test were conducted on hardened concrete. The slump results revealed that the concrete becomes less workable (stiff) as percentage increases. The compressive strength result at 28 days revealed that 5%RHA/1%CaCl2 have the highest strength of 26.82N/mm2 while 20%RHA/1%CaCl2 have the lowest strength (21.48N/mm2). Integration of 5%RHA/1%CaCl2 and 10%RHA/1%CaCl2 as cement replacement will produce a concrete of higher compressive strength compared to conventional concrete in grade 20 concrete.

For many years, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is used in oil well cementing operation. But the OPC gets degraded in the acidic environment because of having poor mechanical characteristics. A new technology called geopolymeric cement system is developed from the secondary byproducts of the industry to replace the conventional cement slurry in oil well cementing operation. This study focus on the preparation of cement slurry with new formulation using fly ash and alkali binders at two sodium hydroxide treatment methods with various concentrations of NaOH solution and analyzing the prepared cement slurry for compressive strength, defiance to acid and fluid loss amount. Different cement slurry compositions made of 70:30 fly ash to alkaline activator ratios with 10, 12, 14 Molar NaOH solution with two sodium hydroxide treatment methods of direct addition and mixing after one day soaking of NaOH were prepared and cured for 24 hours at a temperature of 80°C and pressure 3000 psi. The obtained cement specimens were tested for compressive strength, resistance towards acid and density. Then based on the results, geopolymer can be considered as alternative for Class G cement in oil well cementing operation due to its high compressive strength and high acid resistance.

This paper examines and present the findings of the physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing rice husk ash (RHA), and the blend of rice husk ash with calcium carbide waste (RHA-CCW). Concrete cubes, cylindrical and beam specimens containing different percentages of RHA and RHA-CCW by weight of cement (5, 10, 15 and 20 %) were cast. Compressive strength test was carried out after the specimens were cured in water for 7, 14, 28 and 56 days. Test for tensile and flexural strength was carried out after 28 days curing. Initial and final setting time test was carried out on mortar specimens with the same percentage of RHA and RHA-CCW. Bogues model was used to determine the elemental and compound composition of cement when blended with the RHA and RHA-CCW. From the results obtained, the compressive strength of RHA-CCW concrete increases as cement is partially replaced with RHA-CCW content, with the maximum strength attained at 5 % replacement. RHA concrete attains it maximum strength at 10 % replacement. The maximum compressive strength results obtained for both RHA and RHA-CCW concrete were higher than the strength of plain concrete (0 % replacement) by 1.1 % and 14.7 % respectively. Interestingly, results obtained for the tensile strength also shows a similar pattern of strength development with that of compressive strength. The flexural strength properties of concrete was improved upon when RHA-CCW was used in concrete compared to RHA. The results of setting time test for RHA mortar showed a decrease in setting time, while the reverse was the case for RHA-CCW mortar. In conclusion, provided adequate curing is maintained, the used of RHA-CCW gives a better performance in concrete than RHA. However, they both perform better in concrete than the plain, and can be used as additives in concrete production.
