Cement provides structural support; functions as a barrier that helps prevent corrosion of the steel casing; and blocks oil, gas, or water from traveling through the annulus (the space between the wellbore and the casing). This barrier also protects fresh water aquifers and helps prevent the inflow of undesirable hydrocarbons.
