The main objective of this research was to study the density and compressive strength behavior of API class G cement when it was mixed with selected pozzolanic materials including fly ash, palm oil fuel ash, and sugarcane bagasse ash. Each selected pozzolanic material was mixed with cement slurry by varying the weight of the binder material (wt.%), then it was tested for the density and compressive strength properties according to the API Standard at room temperature and 80°C. The study’s results reveal that the optimum cement mixed ratio is 20% by weight of binder material for all the selected pozzolanic materials, since the value of the compressive strength and density of the cement slurry were appropriate. Furthermore, the compressive strength of cement mixed with fly ash was higher than cement mixed with sugarcane bagasse ash and palm oil fuel ash, respectively.
