Oil and gas production

The oil and gas industry has specific requirements for the quality of the used cement. Kerwood^® filler allows to achieve compliance with them, without complicating the process of construction or using harmful substances. In addition, we shouldn’t forget about other advantages of the filler.

Kerwood^® as an inertizing additive in grouting mortars provides a number of advantages:

• Possibility of using single-stage cementing instead of a multistage
• Reducing the cost of repairs and restoration work
• Lowering the risk of damage to the reservoir during cementation
• Greater flow rate of the well due to the less impact on the reservoir
• Decrease in the specific gravity of the cement mortar to 1.3–1.5 g / cm³ (for a conventional lightweight gel-cement slurry of 1.52–1.54 g / cm³)
• Maintenance of the given height of the mortar rise
• Non-shrinkage in the formation of the cement stone
• Improving the connection of the layers with the well casing pipes

Backfilling with Kerwood^® filler has the following qualities:

• Improved elasticity (resistance to cracks)
• Increased corrosion resistance
• Thermal resistance
• Good adhesion with metals and rocks
• Low shrinkage during hardening
• Low permeability for liquids and gases
• High strength at low density
• Ease of drilling out

We can send results of tests and laboratory studies, as well as conclusions, on individual request.
