Riteks SC-401 is a calcium carbonate and barium sulfate scale inhibitor for use in oilfield applications. The special formula uses advanced polymer chemistry to achieve effective performance in challenging conditions. Riteks SC-401 outperforms competing scale inhibitor technologies such as Phosphonates, Phosphate Esters, and simple Polyacrylates – especially so at high temperatures (up to 400 F) in the presence of high “contaminant” levels such as > 50 ppm Iron and TDS levels of > 150,000 ppm – making it suitable for treating waters from fresh to 100% produced.
Riteks SC-102A is a specialized high Calcium and Iron tolerant scale inhibitor for use in the most challenging oilfield applications. Features and Benefits
Riteks RFL-4 is a fluid loss additive that consistently improves viscosity, water retention, and suspension. Lead Cements under 13 ppg commonly use Riteks RFL-4 which helps maintain rheological hierarchy in thin lightweight cement slurries. Riteks RFL-4 is ideal for circulating long columns of cement slurry on primary casing jobs and for deep liner cementing. It helps fluidity maintenance, premature dehydration elimination, and annular bridging prevention. Most additives used in cementing are compatible with Riteks RFL-4 and provides good frictional properties during displacement. Features and Benefits
Riteks SC-500 deposit control agent is a Calcium Carbonate and Barium Sulphate scale inhibitor for high temperature oilfield applications. The specially formulated polymer chemistry achieves “best in class” performance in the presence of high contaminant loading and TDS conditions. Stability in temperatures up to 400ºF and pH in excess of 9.0 (such as H2S Scavenger applications) is also provided. Features and Benefits
Riteks GA-100 is a polysaccharide polymer that provides viscosifying and suspension benefits for drilling muds and viscosified systems. Its unique high viscosity in the low shear can help low concentration of the drilling fluid suspend solids. It can increase the mud penetrative rate and suspension ability to the drilling-cuttings. Meanwhile, it can also reduce the pressure loss during drilling, stabilize the well-bore, prevent the damage to oil formation, and improve the efficiency of drilling, work-over and completion.
Production damage can be caused by a variety of sources, including scale, paraffin, asphaltenes, and hydrates. All of these lead to costly issues like production loss, downtime, equipment repairs, and more. Phosphonate based scale inhibitors are used to stop scale nucleation, precipitation and adherence to production conduit, completion systems and processing facilities, the three key elements susceptible to scale problems. These chemistries are both inexpensive and easily prepared. They are readily soluble in water, non toxic and effective at low treatment concentrations particularly in controlling calcium carbonate and barium sulfate scale. Riteks offers a variety of phosphorus based scale / corrosion inhibitors that are highly effective in a variety of conditions. Features and Benefits
Microfume 106 UM is an undensified silica fume that improves the mechanical properties (compressive strength) and durability (via permeability decrease). Microfume 106 UM can be an extender for lightweight cements and a compressive strength enhancer for low-temperature, lightweight cements. Lower water content and improved flowability with a higher PAI (Pozzolonic Activity Index) for improved compressive strength development in light weight slurries is a key feature of Microfume 106.
Microfume 104 OG is a semi-densified, constant pH, amorphous light grey powder that improves compressive strengths and durability (via permeability decrease). It “flows” better than its fully densified counterparts and has a high Pozzolanic Activity Index (PAI). MicroFume 104 OG is an extender for lightweight cements and used in conjunction with or instead of conventional pozz.
Riteks Clay Stop is an improved modified choline chloride product for use as a liquid potassium chloride (KCl) substitute in drilling, stimulation and completion fluids. It has the ionic balance required to provide clay control protection in the reservoir, performing as well as choline chloride by itself and at a cost savings. Clay contains cations, typically sodium, within their crystalline layers that occupy base exchange positions or sites in the flay structure. Upon contact with water, these cations are solubilized resulting in clay instability and swelling. When clays swell, the permeability of the formation is diminished which impedes production. Clay stabilizers reduce clay swelling through ion exchange, where the clay stabilizer provides a cation to replace the native, solubilized clay cation, sodium. Features and Benefits
Riteks CSE-5 offers a higher Pozzolonic Activity Index (PAI) for improved compressive strength development for light weight slurries. Riteks CSE-5 reacts with free lime produced during hydration of cement and produces additional cementitious material for improved compressive development. Riteks CSE-5 also provides benefits such as extender properties & free water control, all at much reduced loadings than other pozzolans.
