| abstract |
The present invention provides cementing compositions for an oil well or the like, comprising an hydraulic binder, dense particles with a density higher than the density of the hydraulic binder, and reinforcing particles with a density of less than 1.5 g/cm3, preferably less than 1.2 g/cm3, constituted by a flexible material or rubber, of low compressibility and with an average grain size of less than 600 νm. The compositions of the invention are of particular advantage when cementing zones which are subjected to extreme stresses, such as perforation zones and the junctions of a multi-branch lateral well. They are also highly suitable for producing plugs. |
