Cement
R&D Project – Evaluation of resistance to carbonation in concrete used in oil wells.
Sponsor:
Petrobras
Period of execution
2007
Project presentation:
The project evaluated the performance of cements used for completion and abandonment of wells in oil fields filled with CO2.
Understanding the carbonation process in concrete cast with CPP under approximate working conditions (temperature and pressure);
Determination of mechanical (compressive strength) and microstructural (optical and scanning electron microscopy and microhardness) properties over time of cast concrete after insertion into reactors.
