Description
Summary:This paper investigates the impact of temperature on the rheological behavior of cement slurry and drilling fluid and examines how various factors, such as displacement speed, casing centralization, and density difference, influence displacement efficiency during cementing operations. Using numerical simulations validated against experimental data, we explore how these factors interact under different temperature conditions. Results indicate that temperature changes significantly affect the flow characteristics, displacement interface stability, and overall displacement efficiency. Findings demonstrate that optimizing these parameters according to temperature conditions can significantly enhance cementing performance and reduce the risk of fluid channeling and instability.
