Description
- The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
- This disclosure relates to methods for improving the flowability of solid asphalt particles. Asphalt has a low specific gravity, making it useful as an extender for reducing the density of cement slurries. Asphalt particles may also be used to control lost circulation in subterranean wells. When wellbore fluids such as drilling muds and cement slurries are pumped into a wellbore, the asphalt particles may enter voids in the subterranean-well formation through which wellbore fluids escape, and form a seal that limits further egress of wellbore fluid from the wellbore into the formation.
- For many years, asphaltite minerals such as unitaite have been used in wellbore fluids. Unitaite is mined in underground shafts and resembles shiny black obsidian. Ground unitaite particles are also hard and free flowing; thus, engineers have little difficulty transporting them or incorporating them into dry blends of cement or drilling-fluid solids.
- At present, most unitaite is produced from one principal deposit in the Unitah Basin of Utah, in the United States. This geographic limitation impedes the worldwide use of unitaite. As a result, alternate materials have been identified. One example that is commercially available around the world is hard asphalt. Hard asphalt has a specific gravity similar to that of unitaite, and it can be ground into fine particles.
- Unlike unitaite, hard asphalt particles are cohesive and tend to agglomerate. Upon storage, the particles form cakes that are difficult to break up. In addition, during dry blending operations, the particles do not readily disperse and distribute themselves evenly throughout the blend. It would therefore be desirable to develop means by which the agglomerative tendency of hard asphalt may be suppressed.
- In an aspect, embodiments relate to methods for improving the flowability of asphalt particles, the methods comprising providing asphalt particles with a penetration grade below about 20; and mixing with at least one further compound comprising Portland cement, calcium aluminate cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, lime/silica blends, silica, ground limestone, cement kiln dust, chemically bonded phosphate ceramics, zeolites, geopolymers, cellulose, starch, calcium carbonate, colloidal silica, aluminosilicates, and combinations thereof.
- In a further aspect, embodiments relate to methods for storing asphalt particles, the methods comprising providing asphalt particles with a penetration grade below about 20; and mixing the particles with at least one further compound comprising Portland cement, calcium aluminate cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, lime/silica blends, silica, ground limestone, cement kiln dust, chemically bonded phosphate ceramics, zeolites, geopolymers, cellulose, starch, calcium carbonate, colloidal silica, aluminosilicates, and combinations thereof; and placing the blend in a storage container.
- In yet a further aspect, embodiments relate to methods for transporting asphalt particles, the methods comprising providing asphalt particles with a penetration grade below about 20; mixing the particles with at least one further compound comprising Portland cement, calcium aluminate cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, lime/silica blends, silica, ground limestone, cement kiln dust, chemically bonded phosphate ceramics, zeolites, geopolymers, cellulose, starch, calcium carbonate, colloidal silica, aluminosilicates, and combinations thereof; placing the blend in a transport container; and transporting the blend from a first location to a second location.
