CEMENTING PRODUCTS AND ADDITIVES (March 1999) The 1999 Cementing Supplement is a comprehensive listing of cementing products and additives available from mayor suppliers. This most recent update now comprises seven companies, including two companies new to the listing. American Fracmaster Ltd. Is the U.S. affiliate of Fracmaster in Calgary, Canada. The firms have separate but complementary products lines. Argentinas’ s San Antonio is listed in Cementing this year for the first time as well.
HOW TO USE THIS REFERENCE Listings reflect available cement additives from seven service companies. Products are grouped into functional categories. Some products are unique to a company, and many are protected by patent rights or other legal means. They may be chemically similar, but not identical, and provide comparable performance in cement slurry formulations. Exact equivalence is not implied. Where applicable, products are subdivided into groups having similar performance within each functional category. Performance groups have been subdivided to reflect significant differences in chemical nature of additives and emphasize uniqueness within each company’ s product line. What can not be reflected are differences in product performance with different cements, or performance variations resulting from different sources of the same material around the world. Materials should be tested according to accepted procedures to ensure that performance requirements are met. Also, users are cautioned that it is generally not possible or prudent to make “translations” of cement formulations between service companies based solely on additive descriptions.
includes temperature ranges groupings, salt tolerance and other variables critical to additive performance. Temperature and salt tolerance are broad groupings and actual performance may vary somewhat depending on cement, other additives in formulations and well conditions. Important note. Fluid loss control additives are listed according to maximum temperature and salt tolerance for that product. For example, if an additive is shown to be effective up at about 250 °F in the presence of over 18% salt (by weight of mix water), it is very likely that this product is also effective at higher temperatures with lower salt concentrations. There are several examples of this in the table. Finally, if a company does not have an equivalent to a competitor’s product listing, it does not mean that the company can not come up with a cement formulation that achieves similar performance. Our recommendation is to call the company, describe the application or problem and let them work on a solution. Even though additive technology has advanced, it is still best applied with a measure of experience.
