Cement/ Weighting Materials

When cementing very deep sections the slurry must be very dense to overcome the well pressures. To achieve these high densities additives with a high specific gravity are added to the slurry.

Haematite is an inert iron oxide mineral ground to a fine powder and used as a weighting agent to increase the density of cement slurries.	Haematite
Hi-Wate is a synthetic weighting agent used in place of Haematite and other iron oxides. The main benefits of Hi-Wate are its self-stabilising properties and improved fluid loss characteristics.	Hi-Wate
