The main purpose of cementing oil and gas wells is zonal isolation of the formations exposed by the wellbore. During the entire life of the well, there should be no uncontrolled hydraulic communication between the developed formations and the surface, regardless of the composition and type of fluid (water, oil or gas). During the operation of the well, in addition to constant static ones, the casing and cement stone also experience various dynamic loads. The article presents an up-to-date review of experimental studies on the modification of grouting compositions and cement composites capable of autonomous selfhealing due to the introduction of various additives and nanomaterials. Such modification technologies significantly increase the tightness and resistance of cement to the effects of dynamic loads, the integrity of the cement stone. As a replacement for traditional cement materials, the authors propose the creation of grouting compositions with controlled physical and mechanical properties and the possibility of their re-liquefaction under the influence of temperature on the basis of bitumen or bitumen composites. Keywords: well plugging and abandoning; self-healing materials; autonomous self-healing; casing durability; impermeability of the cement stone; self-healing cement; bitumen and bitumen composites.
