Summary Summary Spacer Tech Sign in required
The variable-viscosity, optimized-rheology spacer lowers drilling costs through shorter rig time and recovery of drilling fluids. In one notable application, the use of a variable-viscosity, optimized-rheology (VVOR) spacer enabled an operator to save $150,000 on rig time and recover usable drilling fluid. Avoidance of remedial cementing saved from $15,000 to $100,000. A successful well completion demands the satisfaction of a number of criteria, one of which is the effective placement of cement. The main purposes of primary cementing are to create a secure bond with the pipestring and formation in order to strengthen both, supply zonal isolation from formation fluids by sealing the annulus, and protect the casing from corrosion.
Summary Summary Swell Technology: Primary Cementing's New Companion Sign in required

Summary Summary Central Graben Extreme Offshore High-Pressure/High-Temperature Cementing Case Study Sign in required
This paper presents six cementing case histories from offshore wells in the Central Graben area of the North Sea. These wells were chosen because they provide valuable information regarding the problems encountered in cementing extreme offshore, high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) wells. The Central Graben wells had an average depth of 6000 m true vertical depth (TVD), temperatures greater than 200°C, small fracture/pore-pressure margins, and bottomhole pressures exceeding 1,100 bar. The well deviation varied from near vertical to a maximum of 35°. These downhole conditions are the most extreme yet experienced in a field development in the North Sea.
Summary Summary Repairing Casing and Collar Leaks with Micro Matrix Cement Sign in required
Casing and collar leaks are a common problem for injection operations in many wells. These leaks can be caused by corrosion, casing damage resulting from tool wear, or failure of the threads to provide an adequate seal. Squeezing the leaks with low-fluid-loss cement slurries can repair the leaks. However, if the casing collar leak is narrow or tight, standard API cements will not penetrate enough to provide a complete seal without requiring perforation. Tight leaks can restrict the entry of standard cement slurries as much as 500 psi in 10 to 20 minutes.

Summary Summary GEM™ GP - Product Data Sheet
GEM GP polyalkylene glycol is used in water-based drilling fluids to help improve lubricity and shale stability. It is recommended for use in potassium and sodium based salt (5-22 percent by weight) systems in areas where low to medium reactive clays are anticipated.
Summary Summary EZ-MUD® - Product Data Sheet
EZ-MUD®, partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer emulsion, is used to stabilize reactive clay and shale formations. EZ-MUD acts as a shale stabilizer by adsorbing onto cuttings and clays on the borehole wall, preventing dispersion. Because of its high molecular weight, EZ-MUD quickly viscosifies with increased concentrations.
Summary Summary EZ MUL® - Product Data Sheet
EZ MUL®, polyaminated fatty acid, can be used to emulsify water into oil in diesel oil-based drilling fluids. It is used to improve a drilling fluid's oil-wetting characteristics and is designed for use in oil-based fluids that contain high levels of divalent salts (i.e. CaCl2, MgCl2) in the fluid's water phase.
Summary Summary FLO-CLEAN™ Z - Product Data Sheet
FLO-CLEAN™ Z polymer is a revolutionary new way to ensure a faster, safer displacement to reduce wellbore cleanup and filtration in zinc brines.
Summary Summary FORTI-MUL® - Product Data Sheet- Product Data Sheet
FORTI-MUL® emulsifier is the primary emulsifier and oil-wetting agent for application in BaraXcel™ 1 drilling fluid system. When FORTI-MUL emulsifier is used with RHEMOD™ L viscosifier and ADAPTA® L filtrate reducer, it aids in producing a stable invert emulsion system with low filtration rates.
Summary Summary DURATONE® HT - Product Data Sheet
DURATONE® HT organophilic leonardite is used to help control filtration rates in oil-based drilling muds.
Summary Summary EZ-MUD® GOLD - Product Data Sheet
EZ-MUD® GOLD, clay and shale stabilizer, provides inhibition of clay and shale formations in water-based drilling fluids without substantially increasing viscosity. EZ-MUD GOLD, when added to a QUIK-GEL® or BORE-GEL® slurry, yields an inhibitive drilling fluid system while maintaining manageable and effective fluid properties. The unique beaded structure of EZ-MUD GOLD allows the material to be mixed easily at minimal shear thereby eliminating the need for liquid emulsions.
Summary Summary DEEP-TREAT™ Wetting Agent - Product Data Sheet
DEEP-TREAT™ wetting agent is a solid powder oil-wetting agent that can be added to invert emulsion drilling fluids to reduce flow properties and gel strengths. DEEP-TREAT wetting agent should be added in small quantities because it is highly-efficient and fast-acting. Overtreatment of a system with DEEP-TREAT wetting agent can lead to very low flow properties, which can be difficult to restore to optimum levels for drilling and cleaning a wellbore. DEEP-TREAT wetting agent is suitable for use in INVERMUL® and ENVIROMUL™ drilling fluids.
Summary Summary EZ-MUD® DP - Product Data Sheet
EZ-MUD® DP partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer dry powder is used to stabilize reactive clays and shale formations. EZ-MUD DP acts as a shale stabilizer by inhibiting cuttings and clays in the borehole wall, preventing dispersion. Because of its high molecular weight, EZ-MUD DP quickly viscosifies with increased concentrations.
Summary Summary GELTONE® V - Product Data Sheet
GELTONE V organophilic clay imparts viscosity and suspension properties to oil-based drilling fluids.
Summary Summary FOAM-ZAPPER™ - Product Data Sheet
FOAM-ZAPPER™ defoamer can be used to reduce or remove surface foam and entrained air in fresh and sea water drilling fluids as well as viscosified brines.
Summary Summary EZ MUL® NT - Product Data Sheet
EZ MUL® NT, polyaminated fatty acid, can be used to emulsify water into oil in oil-based drilling fluids. It is used to improve a drilling fluid's oil-wetting characteristics and is designed for use in oil-based fluids that contain high levels of divalent salts (i.e. CaCl², MgCl²) in the fluid's water phase. EZ MUL NT is the primary emulsifier in the INVERMUL® RF systems.
