A 3 mile deep hole/smooth oil slickened pipe that's 1 mile beneath sea level where air won't be available to cure the cement... How much PSI is the oil being pushed up at?

"air won't be available to cure the cement... "

Cement does not require outside oxygen to cure...it requires being static.

“where air won’t be available to cure the cement.” I didn’t think air was needed to cure cement. I thought it heated up chemically, and got hard. The word “exothermic reaction” comes to mind, but I could be wrong. Any construction experts know more?
