Riteks RCD-3 – Saltwater Tolerant Dispersant

Riteks RCD-3 is a highly effective water-soluble polymer dispersant used in normal to high density, low fluid loss slurries that can be easily pumped in turbulent flow. This dispersant was developed to improve performance characteristics in cement slurries for workability, and is highly effective in salt and salt-saturated slurries. Features and Benefits

• Provides turbulent flow properties, improving mud cleanup and cement bonding
• Facilitates mixing of high-density, reduced-water slurries
• Reduces mixing and final slurry viscosity
• Provides less retardation than conventional dispersants, resulting in earlier strength development
• Inhibits viscosifying effects caused by some fluid loss and gas control additives
• Improves annular displacement, reducing cement contamination
• Improves the performance of gas control and fluid loss additives
• Improves bonding to the formation and pipe
• Compatible with virtually all API, ASTM, and pozzolan cements and most Riteks cement additives

Riteks RCD-2 – Low Salt Tolerant Dispersant

Riteks RCD-2 is a highly effective dispersant in cement slurries to improve the flow properties of the slurry, reduce hydraulic horsepower requirements, and allow removal of the mixing water resulting in a more dense cement slurry. With the use of Riteks RCD-2, cement slurries can be tailored for specific well requirements providing optimum slurry characteristics for any down hole condition. Features and Benefits

• Highly effective dispersant
• Performs over a broad pH range
• Low foaming
• Ensures high solids dispersions with low viscosities

Riteks Latex Stabilizer-RS – High Temperature Latex Stabilizer

Riteks Latex Stabilizer-RS is an anionic complex that helps compatibilized and stabilize polymeric solutions in latex slurries. When added to the Riteks GCL-4, Riteks Latex Stabilizer-RS minimizes viscosity rise due to poor salt stability, smoothing out the compound and enhancing compound flow characteristics.

Riteks GCL-4 – Self Stabilizing Liquid Latex

Riteks GCL-4 cement additive is a liquid additive designed to lower equivalent circulating density (ECD) and impart excellent gas migration & fluid-loss control, high-temperature suspension properties, and acid resistance to cement slurries. Riteks GCL-4 additive is successful across a wide range of well conditions from 60°F (16°C) to 350°F (176.7°C) circulating temperatures and is used in both primary casing cementing operations and remedial squeeze work. Features and Benefits

• Lowers ECD resulting in consistent pump rates and better mud displacement
• Improved wettability for increased bonding strength to the casing
• Resistance to attack by corrosive fluids
• Mechanical data shows that Riteks GCL-4 is more resilient than normal cement slurries
• Flexural strength modification
• Superior solids suspension properties
• Exceptionally low fluid loss, while exhibiting excellent rheological properties
• Functions at bottomhole circulating temperatures (BHCTs) of 60F to 350F

Riteks RFL-1 – Non-Retarding Low Temperature Fluid Loss Additive

Riteks RFL-1 is a non-retarding low temperature fluid loss / gas migration additive designed to decrease the permeability of a cement slurry while increasing the overall durability and flexibility of the system. This additive is highly effective at exceptionally low loadings and works particularly well in lower temperature applications and small grind cements.

Solubond Fibers – Acid Soluble Lost Circulation Fibers

Solubond Fibers are an Innovative fiber technology that functions as an acid soluble Lost Circulation Material (LCM) where losses are an issue, but acid solubility is key. These fibers offer increased circulation by bridging and plugging off voids, fractures, and all types of permeable formations, and are compatible with cement and other fluids. These fibers offer low loading levels that range from 0.25 - 1pps and up to 5ppb in spacers. while being noncorrosive to equipment, and maintaining high-solubility in diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl) & formic acid (HF).
