Versatile Non-Lignin Cement Set Retarder Offers Highly Consistent Performance and Worldwide Environmental Applicability
Cement set retarders are chemical additives that, when placed in cement slurries, purposely extend the pump time of the cement without affecting its long-term mechanical properties. By extending its pump time, the slurry can be placed properly downhole bef

New FUSE-IT™ Polymer-Based Material Can Solve Massive Lost Circulation Problems
In an attempt to solve moderate-to-severe lost circulation problems, operators have pumped a variety of substances down the wellbore to reduce the loss of drilling fluid to a thief zone. Many of these "cures" involve the use of materials that swell in the
