In our approach, the bulk shrinkage is the result of the decrease in pore pressure following cement hydration. We perform triaxial tests on set cements to calibrate the model. We perform laboratory experiments to demonstrate the applicability of this approach to shrinkage prediction. We simulate the downhole conditions to predict the consequences of shrinkage on zonal isolation.P. 329 Keywords: mpa, experiment, cement, pore pressure, cement formulation, bulk shrinkage, slurry, shrinkage, displacement, prediction Subjects: Casing and Cementing, Cement formulation (chemistry, properties) This content is only available via PDF. 1998.
