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.
