Cement Slurry design Basics

Additive Type Purpose Considerations Extenders IWater, Bentonite (clays), pozzolans, amorphous silica, Sodium Silicate, etc. Reduction of hydrostatic or greater economy.Lower slurry density from less than 15.8 down to 11.5 ppg, typically.Higher slurry yield (more slurry volume per sack) Change slurry rheology (viscosity). Increase porosity and consequently thickening time.Compressive strength: delay the 50-psi value, slow development […]

For more than 24 years, I have worked in oil well cementing, offering my services to some of the largest oil corporations in the world and committing myself to excellence. I have mastered my role, and in doing so, I have accrued a skill set that is extremely valuable to my fellow professionals. Eager to do whatever I can to help them, I have owned and operated Better Cementing for All since 2016.
Let me tell you what Better Cementing for All does and what it means. A resource for all oil industry professionals and for cementers both established and prospective, this is a non-profit resource that I established in order to do nothing but serve and make an impact on people who are looking to build careers for themselves in cementing.
From primary cementing to remedial cementing to plug cementing to post-job results, I do it all, and I am comfortable answering in-depth questions about each and every one of these topics. I also offer tools and tips for jobseekers, general self-development advice, and guidance for equipment choices. TO put it simply, this is the go-to spot for anyone who wants to know anything about oil well cementing.
The problem, however, is that covid-19 has made the structure of the website seem untenable. I am trying to juggle the work that I do and my non-profit initiatives and finding it all unhealthy and unsustainable. I want to keep Better Cementing for All up and running, but to do that, I need your help.
