2017 WG Activities To Date Phase 1 testing program Test data collection and analysis
Mechanical Testing Program – Phase 1 Curing Temperature = 50 deg. C Curing Pressure = 3000 psi Curing Time = 14 days Temperature and pressure to be reduced over a 72 hour period to minimize induced stress on the samples. Confining Pressures All Labs are to test using the following confining pressures 250 psi, 500 psi, and 1000 psi. Test Specimens should adhere to a 2:1 ratio (length to diameter)
Mechanical Testing Program – Phase 1 Labs are to follow their established testing procedures All labs have the freedom to add additional confining pressures beyond the three required pressures stated above. Tests results can be submitted as well. All tests will be tested under a “drained condition”. Labs have freedom to test under an “un-drained condition” as well and test results can be submitted Phase 1 Testing Deadline: April 01, 2017
Phase 1 Testing Program Summary Targeted Phase 1 completion April 01, 2017 was not achieved Delay releasing final cement design All companies reported extensive use of triaxial load frames to support business units 8 labs participating 4 Service Companies 3 Technology Companies 1 Major Operator Phase 1 testing extended to June 30, 3017 to give all labs time to complete and submit tests.
