Overview

The FprEN ISO 10426-4 standard, titled Petroleum and natural gas industries - Cements and materials for well cementing - Part 4: Preparation and testing of foamed cement slurries at atmospheric pressure (ISO/FDIS 10426-4:2019), provides detailed guidelines for the preparation and testing of foamed cement slurries used in well cementing operations within the petroleum and natural gas industries. This standard is developed under the auspices of CEN and aligns with international technical practices but currently remains in draft status, pending formal ISO approval.

The document establishes methodologies specifically focused on foamed cement slurries prepared with air at atmospheric pressure, simulating downhole nitrogen-foamed cement performance. Such foamed cement slurries are essential for improving zonal isolation, reducing density, and enhancing well integrity during drilling and completion operations.

Key Topics

• Foamed Cement Slurry Preparation: The standard details standardized procedures to generate foamed cement slurries at atmospheric pressure using air. These samples are designed to mimic nitrogen-foamed cement behavior observed under downhole conditions, thus facilitating laboratory testing.

• Testing Methods: It defines the test protocols for evaluating physical and mechanical properties of both foamed cement slurries and their unfoamed base slurry counterparts. Testing focuses primarily on atmospheric pressure conditions and excludes high-pressure testing and nitrogen solubility considerations.

• Compressive Strength Determination: The standard supplements API RP 10B-4 (2nd edition, 2015) by providing additional instructions for compressive strength testing, referencing ASTM C109/C109M methodology with modifications to reflect petroleum well cementing contexts.

• Standardized Terminology: In compliance with API RP 10B-4 (2nd edition), it adopts a consistent terminology set to ensure clear communication across international stakeholders involved in well cement operations.

• Material Compatibility: Applicable cement types include ISO Classes A, C, G, and H, as well as high-alumina and ductile cement compositions, enabling flexibility in selecting cement formulations fit for purpose in specific well cementing projects.

Applications

The ISO 10426-4 standard plays a vital role in:

• Well Cementing Operations: Offering reliable, reproducible methods to prepare and test foamed cement slurries, which are critical to maintaining wellbore stability in petroleum and natural gas drilling.

• Laboratory Testing: Providing a foundation for labs to simulate downhole foam cementing using atmospheric pressure samples, ensuring quality control and performance prediction before field deployment.

• Drilling Engineering: Supporting engineers in designing cement slurries that optimize foam quality and density for minimizing formation damage and enhancing zonal isolation.

• Quality Assurance: Assisting operators and service companies in adhering to international best practices for foam cement slurry production and validation, improving operational safety and efficiency.

Related Standards

ISO 10426-4 is part of the broader ISO 10426 series, which collectively addresses the specification and testing of well cementing materials, including:

• ISO 10426-1: Specification for cement and materials used in well cementing
• ISO 10426-2: Testing methods for well cements, excluding specialized foamed slurry tests
• API RP 10B-4 (2nd edition, 2015): Recommended practice on preparation and testing of foamed cement formulations at atmospheric pressure, which ISO 10426-4 supplements and harmonizes with
• ASTM C109/C109M: Standard test method for compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars, referenced for strength testing within the standard

By integrating these complementary standards, ISO 10426-4 ensures a comprehensive approach to the preparation and evaluation of well cementing materials, specifically foamed cement slurries, enhancing consistency and reliability in testing and operational practices.
