WorldOil.com - Cememting Table Description
Cementing products and additives
Updated March 2001
The following reference section lists cementing products and additives available from several major suppliers. Products, which are grouped into functional categories, may be 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 equivalency is not implied.
Cementing Categories Cementing Tables
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 cannot be 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 direct "translations" of cement formulations between service companies based solely on additive descriptions. Products Products are grouped grouped in 15 15 functional functional categories: Basic cements
Retarders
Accelerators and salts
Anti-gas migration agents
Extenders and density-reducing additives
Anti-foam and defoaming agents
Free water control and solids suspending agents
Density increasing or weighting agents
Dispersants
Additives and mixtures to reduce or prevent lost circulation
Bond improving and expanding additives
Spacers and chemical washes or preflushes
Fluid-loss control additives
Specialty cement blends
Silica to reduce or prevent high temperature strength retrogression Temperature has a significant effect on many cementing additives and is the single most important variable in affecting cement hydration. This is particularly true for retarders, but also applies to fluid loss control additives, anti-gas migration, expanding and other agents. Salt tolerance is particularly important in fluid loss control additive selection. Where applicable, this reference includes temperature range groupings, salt tolerance and other variables critical to additive performance. Temperature and salt tolerance are broad groupings and actual performance may vary somewhat 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, example, if an additive is shown to be effective effective up to about 250ºF in the presence presence over 18% salt (by weight weight of mix water), 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, Finally, if a company company does not have an equivalent equivalent to a competito competitor's r's product listing, listing, it does not mean that the company cannot cannot 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. Back to Top
