Project Status: Market Qualification & Field Evaluation
To support growing demand for high-performance cementing chemicals in North America, DICO Energy partnered with a Canadian oilfield service company to introduce an integrated cementing additive portfolio tailored to local operating conditions.
The collaboration aims to establish a reliable supply chain and deliver customized cementing solutions for conventional oil and gas wells, horizontal wells, and unconventional resource developments across Western Canada.
Due to confidentiality agreements, specific customer and field information are not disclosed.
Market Challenges
The Canadian market presents demanding requirements for cementing additives due to diverse well conditions and stringent operational standards.
Key challenges include:
- Wide temperature range across seasonal operations
- Complex wellbore geometries in horizontal wells
- Strict fluid loss control requirements
- Compatibility with local cement systems and additives
- Need for stable supply and responsive technical support
Operators also seek cost-effective alternatives that can deliver reliable performance without compromising well integrity.
DICO Solution
DICO Energy developed a customized cementing package combining four core additives:
DOC-FL34S Fluid Loss Additive
Provides effective fluid loss control and supports slurry stability under demanding downhole conditions.
DOC-F30S Cementing Dispersant
Optimizes slurry rheology and improves pumpability across a wide density range.
DOC-D20S Cementing Defoamer
Reduces entrained air and minimizes foaming during slurry mixing and pumping operations.
DOC-AG05S Cementing Latex
Enhances flexibility, improves gas migration control, and strengthens long-term zonal isolation performance.
DICO’s technical team worked closely with the customer to conduct laboratory evaluations, optimize formulations, and ensure compatibility with local cement blends and operational practices.
Evaluation Results
Field and laboratory evaluations demonstrated that the integrated solution package delivered:
- Stable slurry rheology across multiple formulations
