Riteks FWC-1 – Free Water Control

Riteks FWC-1 is a crucial component in cement slurry design, as it plays a significant role in zonal isolation and overall cementing performance. FWC-1 restricts the occurrence of channeling, streaking, and ensures free fluid separation is not plausible. Additionally, FWC-1 adds viscosity to the cement slurry and improves displacement efficiency. This results in a more homogeneous and well-bonded cement sheath and reduces the risk of fluid communication between different zones. Moreover, while reducing free fluid to <1% or even 0%, FWC-1 also aids in reducing a slurry’s fluid loss number
