A cement plug is widely applied for permanent abandonment phase to provide long-term zonal isolation against fluid flow. Maintaining cement plug integrity is a challenging task, and loss in cement sealing poses risks to the surrounding environment and surface safety. It is well-known that the cement...

Cement is an important component to ensure safe and economic sustainable operations of a well. To optimize the performance of cement in a well, and to achieve an adequate level of well integrity, experimental testing of cement under realistic and relevant conditions is vital. This paper reviews thre...
