AdvantagesAdvantages
►►The element of casing string has a The element of casing string has a tight chemical contact with cement tight chemical contact with cement stonestone
►►Water from cement slurry is Water from cement slurry is bounded trough the reaction into bounded trough the reaction into an insoluble substance an insoluble substance
DisadvantagesDisadvantages
►►The cement stone gains crumbly, The cement stone gains crumbly, porous and permeable structure porous and permeable structure near the ringnear the ring
►►Elongate gas channels can cause Elongate gas channels can cause intrareservoirintrareservoir communications communications ((crossflowscrossflows between beds)between beds)
ConclusionsConclusions
The technology of aluminum The technology of aluminum rings installing provides many rings installing provides many
advantages, taking into account advantages, taking into account several disadvantages mostly several disadvantages mostly depending on pressure and depending on pressure and temperature in the well boretemperature in the well bore
