FineCem™ Cement – Overview
Fine particle cement system suited for complex challenges– Tight casing leaks– Steam or water breakthrough
in gravel packs – Slimhole conditions for primary
cementing

FineCem™ Cement – Benefits
Benefits over Conventional Micro-Particle Slurries Extremely low viscosity for pump-ability Lower yield points Enhanced free-water control Improved stability

FineCem™ Cement – Features
Excellent pumping properties due to the ultrafine particle size– Eliminates need for dispersants
or friction reducers Can be moved through the scale
tank of the bulk plant for easy blending of additives– Eliminates handling of sacks
in the field– Simplifies field operations – Improves safety
Compatible with all cement additives and does not require dispersants

FineCem™ Cement – Tight Casing Leaks
Remediation for tight casing leaks that bleed off pressure and will not accept a continuous injection
Can penetrate small leaks Repair without prior acid
treatment

FineCem™ Cement – Gravel Pack Breakthrough
Remediating for undesired water, gas or steam production through gravel pack
Penetrates the permeability of gravel packs
Shuts off unwanted flow

FineCem™ Cement – Primary Cementing
Lightweight cement Achieves early compressive
strengths higher than conventional lightweight slurries– Temperature range from
110°F - 295°F (43°C -146°C),

FineCem™ Cement – From the Laboratory
Flows through the pore space typical of proppant used in Shale gas fracture stimulation treatments

FineCem™ Cement – From the Field
Challenge – Shale / Extended-Reach Horizontal– Perforation would not accept proppant fluid even
under 8,500 psi pumping pressures– Unable to complete aggressive completion
operation until perforation was sealed– Time-consuming and expensive option: coiled tubing and snubbing units
brought in to place and set a mechanical tool Solution – Alternative: FineCem™ Cement squeeze operation
– Flow easily in highly-pressurized perforation (low rheologies)– Highly stable slurry with low fluid loss– Quickly achieves static gel strength, resisting gas channeling
Results– 105 feet of cement total above and below retainer– Zonal isolation verified via successful casing pressure test– Completion operations resumed and well brought on to production soon
after

FineCem™ Cement – From the Field
Challenge – Offshore: achieve successful temporary plug to abandon on first attempt– Before setting cement plug, stop any
potential flow of formation fluids through an existing gravel pack section
Solution – FineCem™ Cement– Squeeze operation through the screen at
the gravel pack zone using 50 bbl of FineCem cement
– 50 ft cement plug was set above the retainer
Results – Well was successfully abandoned

FineCem™ Cement – Summary
Tight casing leaks– Can penetrate small leaks without
prior acid treatment and without bridging off
Gravel packs– Penetrates the permeability to
shut off unwanted flow Slimhole conditions for primary
cementing– Excellent pumping properties– Achieves early compressive
strength
