Abstract
A method for cementing a wellbore, including pumping a volume of an anti-corrosion fluid comprising at least one corrosion inhibitor into a casing and displacing the anti-corrosion fluid into an annular space outside the casing with a volume of cement. A displacement fluid may then be injected into the casing to displace the cement into the annular space, wherein a combined volume of cement and anti-corrosion fluid fills the annular space along a height of the casing. A height of the cemented annular space may be less than the height of the casing, the anti-corrosion fluid being retained in the annular space axially above a cemented annular space, forming an anti-corrosion fluid annular space. Partially cementing in this manner may simultaneously protect the casing from corrosion while allowing easier workover operations proximate the anti-corrosion fluid annular space.
