Riteks THIX-C2 – Thixotropic Additive

Additive for Oilfield Cementing Applications

Riteks THIX-C2 is a high-performance thixotropic additive designed to optimize primary cementing operations in oilfield drilling. Specifically engineered to control free water, promote early strength development, prevent cement fallback, and mitigate fluid migration, THIX-C2 is the ideal choice for achieving superior wellbore integrity.

This advanced additive is highly effective at low loading levels, enhancing fluid properties and compressive strengths in water-extended cement slurries. Riteks THIX-C2 is particularly valuable in demanding applications where rapid setting is critical, such as squeeze jobs, plug placements, and water shutoff operations.

By improving gelation and transition times, Riteks THIX-C2 supports more reliable zonal isolation while reducing operational costs and rig time, making it a key component in efficient, fit-for-purpose cementing designs.

Key Features and Benefits of Riteks THIX-C2

  • Optimizes slurry transition and gelation properties to minimize the risk of fluid migration and gas channeling.

  • Accelerates gel strength development for quicker setting times and enhanced early compressive strength.

  • Reduces job costs by minimizing waiting-on-cement (WOC) time and lessening the need for additional fluid-loss additives.

  • Offers a cost-effective alternative to gypsum for thixotropic cement systems.

  • Enhances performance in water-extended cement slurries, providing reliable set times and fluid control even in challenging downhole environments.

  • Ideal for quick-set cement applications such as squeeze cementing, plugging operations, and water shutoff treatments.

  • Supports wellbore stability and long-term zonal isolation, critical for maximizing well productivity and reducing intervention costs.
