Oil Well Cement
Definition
Oil well cement refers to the application of various drilling conditions for
the cement (Portland cement) and non Portland cement.
Typically include API all levels of Portland cement known as the basic oil
well cement , others such as thixotropic cement, expansive cement and the
corrosion resistance cement are all special oil well cements.

Classification
API Portland cement is usually divided into eight grades from A to
H, each of which is applied to a different depth, temperature and
pressure.
According to the ability of Sulfate resistance (C3A content) to
classify : Ordinary (O), Moderate sulfur (MSR) and High sulfur (HSR).
