GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Born as a mechanical property improver to cement, this precursor to carbon fiber, has been field tested and proven to effectively heal/plug naturally fractured or porous formations. Creating a chemical bond within the cement matrix increases mechanical properties including tensile strength, flexuarl modulus, and increases stability.

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS

APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
  • Mechanical Property: Cement Slurry
  • Enhancement Loadings: 1/2 lb/sack to 1 lb/sack

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
  • High fiber count lost circulation material.
  • Aids in returning circulation to naturally fractured or porous formations.
  • Effectively bridges gaps and aids with suspension of the slurry design.
  • Demonstrates improvements to bond logs; aids in the prevention of cement shrinkage.
  • Outperforms other fiber technologies that can't be bulk blended.
  • Has little effect on the rheology and viscosity of the cement slurry.
  • Becomes part of cement matrix by bonding to the cement.
  • Packaging allows for operation ease and on the fly hand dosing.
  • Doesn't float or sink while mixing and the neutral buoyancy facilitates uniform dispersion.
  • Pairs perfectly with Riteks Sealing Spacers to heal and seal.
