  1. API Subcommittee on Well Cements (SC-10) Triaxial Mechanical Properties Testing of Oilwell Cements 2016 Winter Meeting Progress Report

  2. Charge • Investigate and develop a technical report on the characterization of the mechanical behavior of cement under confinement • Workgroup deliverable –Submit a standardized process to be incorporated into the existing TR related to “Mechanical Behavior of Cement” by 2017 Winter Meeting.

  3. Workgroup Team Members

  4. 2015 Summer Meeting Objectives

  5. Workgroup activities since 2015 Summer Meeting • Workgroup meeting - Oct. 29, 2015 • Main items discussed • Triaxial test cement target sizes • Current work process/methods • Actions since Oct. 29, meeting • Collected and complied triaxial testing processes/work methods • Consolidating processes/work methods

  6. Next Steps • Distribute triaxial testing process/work methods to team members • Workgroup reporting template drafted so members can: • Report what they consider as influencing the test results • Why it is influencing to their opinion • What they would recommend in term of fixing this parameters (cooperative testing, sensitivity study, etc…) • Proposed workgroup timeline • End of February: progress meeting to make sure everyone is comfortable with the reporting process • End of March: consolidation of all reports (might need some volunteers to help gathering and consolidate) • Mid-April : working session to discuss specifically each topic and agree on the next workgroup actions.

  7. Comments/Suggestions

  8. 2016 Winter Workgroup Minutes • 10:45 hrs D. Williams called the session to order • Anthony Badalamenti, CURISTEC presented workgroup status and actions • Workgroup charge and deliverables were presented - No challenges were encountered • 2015 Summer Meeting – objectives, actions and status were shared – no challenges were encountered • Workgroup activities since summer meeting were discussed – no challenges were encountered • 2016 workgroup activities for Q1-16 were presented – no challenges were encountered • Communicated that 2017 Winter Meeting Deliverable was optimistic and timeline will be at risk – No challenges were encountered. • General discussion • Cam Matthews with C-Fer Technologies from Canada- commented on sample loading of temperature and pressure was important to triaxial results • Jamie Hayes, Kevin Madsen, Lrick Lukay with (OFITE), Jeff Moon with Chandler and Cam Mathews with C-Fer Technologies and Daniel Bour with Blades Energy would like to join the work group. – Info will be send to Workgroup Chairman by Jan. 22 2016 • Rick Lukay motioned for session adjournment • Maggie Benge – seconded the motion • Acceptance vote (Yea and Na) was conducted – no Na’s were encountered. • Session adjourned at 11:10 hrs.
