Since most of the fields in the Absheron peninsula of the Republic of Azerbaijan are at the final stage of development, an inevitable reduction in hydrocarbon production is expected. An increase in the proportion of formation water in well production, the presence of intra-reservoir, annulus and other cross-flows in this region, in most cases, is associated with inefficient isolation work.

The development of effective recipes for cement slurries with controlled rheological properties is relevant. Natural zeolite was used as an additive to control the rheological properties of cement slurries. A feature of zeolites is the presence of a system of regular channels and communicating cavities capable of holding ions, atoms and molecules of substances, whose size corresponds to the size of free space.

Zeolite (clinoptilolite) has the following properties: adsorption ‒ the ability to absorb and release various substances; ion exchange ‒ the ability to exchange cations; catalytic ‒ the ability to speed up chemical reactions. In addition, clinoptilolite has a molecular sieve effect that transmits (filtration) and absorbs molecules of various substances selectively. In the course of experiments, the effects of zeolite dispersions on the physicochemical parameters of cement stone were studied. When regulating the rheological properties of cement slurries with zeolite additives, it is necessary to determine the effect of thermobaric factors on the values of these properties. In studies to assess the effect of temperature on the rheological properties of zeolite-cement mortars, they were carried out for the temperature range of 25÷75 ℃
