Improving Oil Well Cement Slurry Performance Using Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose Polymer

At present, high temperature oil wells are known as the most problematic for cementing operation due to limitations of polymer. The polymers are significantly used as mutlifunctional additives for improving the properties of cement slurry. At high temperature, viscosity of polymer decreases and u...
