| Abstract | The oil well cementing operation is a procedure to pump a special cement from the surface down to the oilwell to fill the space between the casing-casing and casing formation. The cement between the casing-casing and casing - formation provides the zonal isolation in the formation and held the casing. Because the oilwell was drill very deep from the surface and it takes long time for the cementing operation. To be completed 24 hours the cement is pumped down to well. The cement from the bottom starts to develop its strength. At the formation depth ones need to prepare the contact area between the formation and the well to extracts the oil out from formation to surface facility by perforation. To do perforation it is needed to know the depth of the well. The perforation depth can be determined by the Ultrasonic Cement Analyzer (UCA) test, where can help to monitor the entire hardening process of the oilwell cement development. The UCA testing can be done only in laboratory. another investigative testing method which can monitor and assess the development of entire hardening process of oilwell cement strength development is considered and study in this research, which is the electrical resistivity technique. In this study a numbers of laboratory resistivity testing were performed to investigate the relationship of electrical resistivity with oil cement strength development. The main objective is to apply the electrical resistivity techniques as an additional method to assess and monitor the strength of oil well cement development. This study will carry out two sets of testing. The first test is the cement slurry testing in 24 hrs. The second is oilwell cement samples testing in 56 days curing time. Both sets of testing include measurements of electrical resistivity and the compressive strength development of oilwell cement limited under the temperature effect |
