In recent years, graphene-based nanomaterials have been increasingly and widely used in numerous industrial sectors. In the drilling industry, graphene oxide in cement slurry has significantly improved the mechanical parameters of cement composites and is a future-proof solution. However, prior to placing it in a borehole ring space, cement slurry must feature appropriate fluidity. Graphene oxide has a significant influence on rheological parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to study graphene oxide’s influence on the rheological parameters of cement slurries. Thus, this paper presents rheological models and the results of studies on rheological parameters. A basic cement slurry and a slurry with a latex addition were used. The latex admixture was applied at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.03%, and 0.06%. In total, studies were carried out for six slurries with graphene oxide and two basic slurries. The obtained results of studies on the slurries with graphene oxide were compared with the control slurry. It was found that the smallest graphene oxide concentration increased slurry value, some rheological parameter values, plastic viscosity, and the flow limit. Surprisingly, a concentration up to 0.03% was an acceptable value, since the increase in plastic viscosity was not excessively high, which allowed the use of cement slurry to seal the hole. Once this value was exceeded, the slurry caused problems at its injection to the borehole.

Effective borehole sealing depends on many properties of the cement slurry. The rheological parameters are the most important. Designing the cement slurry with the required values of plastic viscosity, yield point or consistency coefficient contributes to the efficient performance of the cementing procedure and allows for effective filling of the cemented space outside the tubing. In order to adjust rheological parameters to technological requirements, dispersants are used. The operation of these plasticizers or superplasticizers is related to their chemical structure, which determines their liquefaction mechanism. Therefore, in order to properly select a fluidizing agent, it is beneficial to become familiar with its mechanism of operation, thanks to which it will be possible to use the optimal amounts for a given cement slurry recipe. The publication discusses the effectiveness of dispersing agents depending on their liquefaction mechanism. The research work carried out consisted in the modification of the cement slurry with the use of sodium salts of polycondensates of naphthalene sulfonic acids and a polymer dispersant based on carboxylates. Amounts of dispersant ranging from 0.05% (bwoc) to 1.0% (bwoc) were used. The rheological parameters described by means of five rheological models, i.e. Newton, Bingham, Ostwald de Waele, Casson and Herschele-Bulkley, were tested for the cement slurries. The main goal of the work presented in the article was to conduct a correlation analysis of the change in rheological parameters of slurries modified with dispersants belonging to different groups depending on their liquefaction mechanism. Thanks to this, it was possible to indicate the effectiveness of the dispersing additives depending on the amount of the fluid used belonging to a specific group. The work carried out is helpful in determining the optimal amount of dispersing agent depending on its type (mechanism of action).

Abstract. In the present paper some of the problems related to the application of the continuum mechanics modelling to debris flow runout simulation are discussed. Particularly, a procedure is proposed to face the uncertainties in the choice of a numerical code and in the setting of rheological parameter values that arise when the prediction of a debris flow propagation is required. In this frame, the two codes RASH3D and FLO2D are used to numerically analyse the propagation of potential debris flows affecting two study sites in Southern Italy. For these two study sites, a lack in information prevents that the rheological parameters can be obtained from the back analysis of similar well documented debris flow events in the area. As a prediction of the possible runout area is however required by decision makers, an alternative approach based on the analysis of the alluvial fans existing at the toe of the two studied basins is proposed to calibrate rheological parameters on the safe side. From the comparison of the results obtained with RASH3D (where a Voellmy and a Quadratic rheologies are implemented) and FLO2D (where a Quadratic rheology is implemented) it emerges that, for the two examined cases, numerical analyses carried out with RASH3D assuming a Voellmy rheology can be considered on the safe side respect to those carried out with a Quadratic rheology.

The effects of ground slag with different specific surface area on the rheology of mortar at water-binder ratio of 0.25, 0.28 and 0.30 were investigated, and the combined effects of packing density and solid surface area on the rheology of mortar were evaluated in terms of the water film thickness. The results show that with the increasing of specific surface area of slag (220 m2/kg-784 m2/kg), plastic viscosity and yield stress decrease. The correlations of yield stress and plastic viscosity to the water film thickness are basically linear with high correlation R2 values. The action of the ground slag on the rheology of mortar can be characterized by water film thickness, and with the increasing of water film thickness the rheological parameters decrease.

We investigate the performance of graphene oxide (GO) in improving mechanical properties of cement composites. A polycarboxylate superplasticizer was used to improve the dispersion of GO flakes in the cement. The mechanical strength of graphene-cement nanocomposites containing 0.1–2 wt% GO and 0.5 wt% superplasticizer was measured and compared with that of cement prepared without GO. We found that the tensile strength of the cement mortar increased with GO content, reaching 1.5%, a 48% increase in tensile strength. Ultra high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) used to observe the fracture surface of samples containing 1.5 wt% GO indicated that the nano-GO flakes were well dispersed in the matrix, and no aggregates were observed. FE-SEM observation also revealed good bonding between the GO surfaces and the surrounding cement matrix. In addition, XRD diffraction data showed growth of the calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) gels in GO cement mortar compared with the normal cement mortar.

The article presents the results of the influence of carbon nanotubes on the mechanical parameters of cement stones under high temperature and pressure conditions (150°C, 90 MPa). The tests used multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with an external diameter of 10–20 nm and a length of 10–30 μm. Cement slurries contained 0.1% of CNTs bwoc (by the weight of cement). Laboratory tests of cement slurries were carried out at the Oil and Gas Institute – National Research Institute. The tests were carried out under conditions of increased pressure and temperature at 150°C, 90 MPa. Cement slurries were prepared on the basis of class G drilling cement. Developing recipes were guided by the requirements to be met by cement slurry for the cementing of casing in the conditions of high temperature and reservoir pressures. The densities of tested slurries ranged from 1900 kg/m3 to 2250 kg/m3 (slurries with the addition of hematite). The cement slurries were tested for density, fluidity, rheological parameters, filtration and thickening time. Compressive strength tests and measuring adhesion were carried out after 2, 7, 14 and 28 days. Cement slurry recipes with very good technological parameters were developed and after curing (after 28 days of hydration) had very high values of compressive strength, reaching up to 45 MPa. Cements were characterized by high values of adhesion to pipes reaching up 7 MPa after 28 days. The research showed significant information about possible applications of carbon nanotubes to modify the cement slurry under conditions of high temperature and pressure. The conducted tests confirmed that the addition of even small amounts of CNTs improves the mechanical parameters of the cement stone compared to the base sample without such addition, and also reduces the thickening time of cement slurries and reduces filtration. It is investigated that CNTs addition increases the viscosity and yield point of cement slurry. As a result, slurries with the addition of MWCNTs will more effectively displace the mud from the borehole and significantly affect the quality of cementation.

This study focused on the uniform distribution of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets in cement composites and their effect on microstructure and performance. For this, three polymer dispersants with different level of polar groups (weak, mild, and strong) poly(acrylamide-methacrylic acid) (PAM), poly(acrylonitrile-hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PAH), and poly(allylamine-acrylamide) (PAA) were used to form intercalation composites with GO nanosheets. The results indicated that GO nanosheets can exist as individual 1–2, 2–5, and 3–8 layers in GO/PAA, GO/PAH, and GO/PAM intercalation composites, respectively. The few-layered (1–2 layers) GO can be uniformly distributed in cement composites and promote the formation of regular-shaped crystals and a compact microstructure. The compressive strengths of the blank, control, GO/PAM, GO/PAH, and GO/PAA cement composites were 55.72, 78.31, 89.75, 116.82, and 128.32 MPa, respectively. Their increase ratios relative to the blank sample were 40.54%, 61.07%, 109.66%, and 130.29%, respectively. Their corresponding flexural strengths were 7.53, 10.85, 12.35, 15.97, and 17.68 MPa, respectively, which correspond to improvements of 44.09%, 64.01%, 112.09%, and 134.79%.
