Topic: Research Progress on Wellbore Cementing and Wellbore Integrity

Introduction: Cementing is an important step during the construction of oil and gas wells and its primary function is to provide proper sealing of the annulus space between the casing and the formation. Nowadays, with continued development of deep oil and gas resources, wellbore drilling and completion depths continue to increase and wellbore conditions become increasingly complex; additionally, more and more unconventional well are constructed for geothermal energy development and storage of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, or other gases. These new changes in the industry presents significant challenges for cementing operations and wellbore integrity. This special session welcomes submissions on the latest research advances related to cementing operations and wellbore integrity. This includes, but is not limited to, studies on the performance characterization of cementing systems under harsh downhole conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosive fluids, and complex loading conditions, as well as related research outcomes in numerical simulation and optimization.
