Abstract

A method of transferring heat using a grout that has been optimized for heat transfer includes a heat conductive particulate mixed with the grout. The grout and particulate mixture includes enough particulate to form connections to create heat conductive paths. A method of treating grout so that it is resistant to the caustic environment existing at the bottom of a well, mixing an aggregate with the grout to form a mixture having a PH opposite to the caustic environment at the bottom of the well.
