OVERVIEW
The OWB™ cement control treatment uses organic hydrophobic pellets of various sizes with interlocking fibers to control fluid loss from the cement and to mitigate the risk of lost circulation while cementing. The material is non hazardous and organic being totally environmentally friendly.
The result is a compact, impermeable seal against the rock face where fluids are being lost. The OWB™ treatment consists of using a small amount per volume throughout the cement.
By using OWB™, operators are able to cement casing strings with minimum losses and achieve the required top of cement. This substantially reduces non productive time and cost.
OWB™ has been used in hundreds of squeeze operations to remediate casing leaks and isolate water zones that were not properly cemented.
OWB™ is also ideal for use in plugging and abandonment of wellbores where cement needs to be placed across the producing zone and for other zones that are difficult to get cement plugs pumped.
The treatments using OWB™ have been used for over two decades and have been field tested and proven in hundreds of applications with high success rates.
