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. Products are grouped in 15 functional categories: • • • • • • • • • •
• • • • • Basic cements Accelerators and salts Extenders and density-reducing
additives Free water control and solids suspending agents Dispersants Bond
improving and expanding additives Fluid-loss control additives Silica to reduce or
prevent high temperature strength retrogression Retarders Anti-gas migration agents
Anti-foam and defoaming agents Density increasing or weighting agents Additives and
mixtures to reduce or prevent lost circulation Spacers and chemical washes or
preflushes Specialty cement blends

Temperature has a significant effect on many cementing additives and is the single
most important variable affecting cement hydration. This is particularly 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. When applicable, this reference
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.
