Abstract: A borehole cement slurry additive that is capable of suppressing the generation of free water from cement slurries in any environment, whether cold regions, mild regions, or hot regions; and a method for storing the same. The borehole cement slurry additive contains: an aqueous dispersion of silica having an average particle size of 3-200 nm as determined via dynamic light scattering; and a compound having an alcoholic hydroxyl group as a dispersion stabilizer, the compound being included in an amount of 1-30 mol per 1,000 g dispersion medium in the aqueous silica dispersion.

Abstract: An additive capable of suppressing generation of free water from a cement slurry even under a high temperature environment of 150° C. or more and a silica-based additive that suppresses, in a cement slurry for cementing in oil fields and gas oil fields, free water under high temperature and high pressure environments of 100° C. or more, the silica-based additive containing an aqueous silica sol containing nanosilica particles with a true density of 2.15 g/cm3 or more and less than 2.30 g/cm3, and a cement slurry for cementing that contains the silica-based additive.

Abstract: An additive for a cement slurry for a well that is capable of suppressing the generation of free water and preventing flotation/separation of low-specific-gravity aggregate while securing sufficient cement strength even at a high temperature and a method for producing this additive are disclosed. The additive contains an aqueous dispersion of silica and a layered silicate.
