Portland cement

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002876

A hydraulic cement, primarily composed of calcium silicates, used in oil and gas wells for cementing operations. It forms a durable, impermeable sheath around the casing, providing zonal isolation and structural support. Additives are mixed with portland cement to control its setting time, density, and fluid loss properties, adapting it to specific downhole conditions.
