Boric Acid is an intensifier for lignosulfonate cement retarders. It is useful at circulating temperatures over 250°F. Boric acid is normally run with MTR-14 retarder.
Cementing Additives
Cement Retarders
LTR-10 is a modified calcium lignosulfonate. It can be used to retard the thickening time of all classes of cement and Pozzolana cement at low temperature up to 200°F (93°C)
LTR-10L is a liquid lignosulfonate retarder for all classes of oilwell cement. It is designed for use in the 125°-220°F temperature range.
SR-11L is a liquid synthetic organic retarder designed for use with micro-fine cements such as HSR-MC. It can be used at temperatures as high as 250°F.
SOR-12 is a synthetic organic retarder primarily designed for use at BHCTs of 150°F and above. In fresh water slurries, it can be used as a stand-alone retarder up to around 250°F. With salt-saturated designs or with the addition of HTOR-16, it will provide consistent performance to at least 400°F.
MTR-14 is a modified sodium lignosulfonate and can be used to retard all classes of cement and pozzolan cement designs. MTR-14 provides excellent retardation in wells with 200°-310°F (93°C to 154°C) bottom hole circulating temperatures range.
MTR-14L is a liquid lignosulfonate retarder for all classes of oilwell cement. It is designed for use in the 200°-320°F temperature range.
MTR-15 is a cellulose-based cement retarder for use in the 130°-260°F temperature range. It is effective in all API classes of cement, and is compatible with salt up to 18% by weight of water. MTR-15 is particularly useful for foamed or thixotropic cements.
HTOR-16 is a retarder intensifier for high temperature cement slurries designs. It is an organic acid product which is effective as retarder by itself, but its primary application is an intensifier for SOR-12 synthetic retarder above 250°F
Cement Accelerators
Calcium chloride is used as an accelerator in oil well cementing. CaCl2 decreases thickening time, increases early strength, and shortens waiting-on-cement time.
SA-61 is a suspension aid for preparing lightweight slurries from all types of oil well cement. SA-61 acts as an accelerator at temperatures above about 140°.
Salt or sodium chloride, is used for a variety of purposes in oil well cements in the 40°-450°F temperature range. At low concentrations, salt accelerates setting of cement, but at higher loadings it acts as a mild retarder.
