Oil well cementing is the process of placing cement in the annulus between the casing and the formation. The major objective of primary cementing is to provide zonal isolation in the wellbore of oil, gas and water wells to exclude fluids such as water or gas in one zone from oil in another zone. To achieve this objective, a hydraulic seal must be inserted between the casing and the cement, and between the cement and the formations, while at the same time preventing fluid channels in the cement sheath. This requirement makes primary cementing the most important operation performed on the well. Without complete zonal isolation in the wellbore the well may never reach its full producing potential.

STEELFABS cementing laboratory provides modern testing methods to meet the latest American s Petroleum Institute (API) specifications and recommended practices. To optimize the results of a cementing treatment , it is important to fully investigate the properties of slurries and spacers to be used and their interaction with wellbore fluids. We believe the best possible results can be achieved when the rheology, stability, thickening time, compressive strength development and the fluid loss are fully evaluated. Our cementing laboratory is critical to the success of STEELFABS. Here the slurries are carefully designed to match the most demanding applications.
