Corrosion against the zonal isolation could lead to potential leakage of formation fluid such as oil, gas, or water. It is well known that ordinary Portland cement is thermodynamically unstable in the CO2 rich environment, which can be found in the CO2 geological sequestration. The CO2 attack on API Class-G cement had been observed through experiments that simulate the downhole condition of Geological Sequestration of CO2. Some of the experiment revealed the detrimental effect of CO2 such as increase of porosity and permeability of the cement sheath corroded by the CO2 attack. The degradation of API Class-G cement by CO2 involves formation and crystallization of CaCO3 from Ca(OH)2 which is formed during hydration of cement. In this experiment, we examine the role of the addition of CaO swelling cement by weight fraction to mitigate the corrosion caused by CO2 against downhole hardened API Class-G cement thus inhibits the occurrence of leakage path of CO2. The characterization and analysis by XRD, optical microscope and cement paste uniaxial volumetric expansion were presented in this paper. The conclusion will provide insights into the design of carbonation resistant cement slurries using swelling cement admixtures.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cement admixtures,Downhole conditions,Formation fluids,Geological sequestration,Hydration of cements,Ordinary Portland cement,Volumetric expansion,Weight fractions[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]1Doctoral Program, Department of Physics, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia 2Oil and Gas General Directory, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Jakarta, Indonesia 3Department of Physics, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia 4Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Bandung, Indonesia[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1191/1/012045[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
