ANODE SLURRY FOR CATHODIC PROTECTION OF UNDERGROUND METALLIC STRUCTURES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

An anode slurry for cathodic protection to underground metallic structures, preferably for casings of hydrocarbon producing wells or water injecting/producing wells, comprising a granulated electrical conducting material as anode and optionally a granulated filler with high electrical conductivity (backfill). There is also disclosed a method for providing cathodic protection to underground metallic structures by injecting an anode slurry into the underground formation containing the metallic structures.
