Relevance of this study is concluded in the fact that high quality cementing requires regulation of the cement grouts’ properties using various chemicals. The objective of the work is based on the study of polyelectrolytes’ application efficiency used for regulation of cement slurries’ properties. In order to conduct the research the authors used the devices meeting the API requirements. Properties of cement slurry and cement were evaluated according to GOST 1581-96. In order to study the gas show emergence mechanism during the procedure of WOC (waiting on cement), the authors used a special experimental plant. It has been found that high efficiency during the research was shown by water soluble cationic polyelectrolyte (WSC-402), belonging to the class of cationic polymers. Also the paper considers its analog – cationic polyelectrolyte (PAK) released under the trade mark Praestol. Studying the mechanism of polyelectrolyte additives’ effect on cement showed that the chemicals can slow down the hydrating reaction of С3А in cement-water suspension, and prevent from the growth of gel strength of the grout, which causes drop in hydrostatic pressure of the cement grout column, provoking gas shows.
