Bismuth alloy substitute for cement in well abandonment
Traditional cementing procedures for repairing or abandoning oil and gas wells that leak GHG emissions are unreliable. The chemical and physical properties and processes that attend the setting of cement and the long term deteriorating effects of reservoir fluids that come in contact with it, make cement a less idea solution for sealing wells. Seal…
