Dispersants

Increasing depth and horizontal extension of wellbores today poses new challenges for the flow properties of cement slurries. Low viscosity at low water-to-cement ratios (slurry yield) is one major need. It allows for the reduction of horsepower requirements and also reduces friction pressure, minimizing lost circulation. Dispersants, which are also known as friction reducers, thinners, or turbulence inducers, serve this purpose.

The Liquiment^® product range includes our state-of-the-art cement slurry dispersants for use in a wide range of oil field applications. While lowering the slurry viscosity, rheology is greatly improved for long-range pumping. Furthermore, it is possible to deploy cement slurries with reduced water-to-cement ratios, which results in a high compressive strength for the hardened cement.
