Control heat of hydration by characterizing cementitious components

摘要

Methods of wellbore cementing are provided. A method of designing a cement composition may include: selecting a target heat of hydration for a target time and temperature; selecting one or more cementitious components and a weight percent for each of the one or more cementitious components such that a sum of a heat of hydration of the one or more cementitious components is less than or equal to the target heat of hydration; preparing the cement composition; and allowing the cement composition to set.
