As an indispensable part of cement slurry for high temperature and high pressure oil and gas wells, weighting materials have a significant impact on the carbon dioxide corrosion of oil well cement-based composites.This paper studied the carbonation process of cement with three weighting agents, and evaluated the compressive strength and carbonation depth of cement at 150 ℃. XRD, SEM and MIP were used to study the carbonation mechanism of cement. When 21 days of carbonation, the carbonation depth growth rate of hausmannite cement was 0.21 mm/d, hematite cement was 0.24 mm/d, and barite cement was 0.31 mm/d. The compressive strength of cement decreased after carbonation,and the carbonation had a minor influence on the compressive strength of hausmannite cement and the most significant impact on barite cement. The carbonation product of oil well cement was mainly calcite. Unstable vaterite mainly existed in the barite cement sample, indicating that the barite cement sample was the most serious corrosion. In the carbonation zone, the number of pores smaller than 10 nm increased the most in the hausmannite cement sample. Pores with a diameter greater than 100 nm accounted for 1.9 % in the hausmannite cement, 3.0 % in hematite cement, and 4.8 % in barite cement. The result shows that hausmannite is the most conducive to the corrosion resistance of oil well cement.
