Recent advancements in the technology used for cementing oil and gas and CCUS wells prioritise enhancing durability and integrity of the cement under extreme downhole conditions. Particularly in cementing complex well, adopting new technologies and best practices are essential to enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

The cementing industry actively reduces its carbon footprint through various technological enhancements in CCUS, with the aim of achieving net-zero emissions in the coming decades. Long term well integrity and durability in supercritical CO2 environments, which create acidic conditions in reservoirs and attack conventional cement system, is crucial. The best approach depends on technology selection, industry collaboration, and overcoming commercial challenges.

In this technical session, we will delve into case studies showcasing innovative cementing technologies. These solutions offer a diverse range of approaches to achieve zonal isolation throughout your well’s lifespan. Our discussion will centre on the adoption of these technologies—a critical factor as the cementing industry strives to transition toward a more sustainable future.
