Riteks GCL-4 cement additive is a liquid additive designed to lower equivalent circulating density (ECD) and impart excellent gas migration & fluid-loss control, high-temperature suspension properties, and acid resistance to cement slurries. Riteks GCL-4 additive is successful across a wide range of well conditions from 60°F (16°C) to 350°F (176.7°C) circulating temperatures and is used in both primary casing cementing operations and remedial squeeze work.
Features and Benefits
- Lowers ECD resulting in consistent pump rates and better mud displacement
- Improved wettability for increased bonding strength to the casing
- Resistance to attack by corrosive fluids
- Mechanical data shows that Riteks GCL-4 is more resilient than normal cement slurries
- Flexural strength modification
- Superior solids suspension properties
- Exceptionally low fluid loss, while exhibiting excellent rheological properties
- Functions at bottomhole circulating temperatures (BHCTs) of 60F to 350F
