Abstract

Oilwell cements are slurries that fill the annular space between the borehole and the steel casing in oil perforation. These cements must have special features to achieve many properties that are of demand of a fluid that flows at high pressures, high temperatures, and great depths. These features are achieved with the use of polymers, named as additives or admixtures in the construction materials industry. In this chapter, some of the admixtures based on renewable biomass products are described. Some of these are cellulose ethers, used as fluid loss agents; lignosulfonates, used as dispersants, xanthan, and welan gum and other microbial polysaccharides, mainly used as a viscosity modifiers, and micro- and nanocellulose fibers, which are used as loss circulation agents.
