Lightweight Cementing Systems

Lost circulation? You've found the solution.

When heavy cement slurry exerts unsustainable pressure on the formation, the resulting loss of circulation can lead to wasted cement, poor zonal isolation, casing corrosion and HSE hazards. Our NexSet Lite and NexSet Foam cementing systems deliver high compressive strength and excellent zonal isolation at lower densities – to avoid lost circulation in the most unstable formations.

  • NexSet Lite slurries are available in three fast-setting blends to accommodate a variety of wellbore conditions and operational requirements. Each of these formulations can be enhanced with additives to prevent gas migration, further inhibit lost circulation, or increase compressive strength:
    • NexSet™ Lite Eco
      • The most economically priced NexSet Lite blend
      • Ideal for many primary and remedial applications in fragile formations susceptible to damage from excessive hydrostatic pressure
    • NexSet Lite Midrange
      • Lightweight cementing performance with midrange compressive strength
    • NexSet Lite Ultra
      • Ideal for applications requiring the highest solid fractions, highest compressive strength, or lowest densities
  • NexSet Foam systems feature nitrogen-energized slurries that are designed to achieve full wellbore cement coverage, even under total lost circulation.
    • Enables three-dimensional expansion, even after pumping has stopped
    • Creates dependable cement sheath development along the X, Y and Z planes in the entire cemented interval
    • Ideal for a variety of applications – ranging from primary cementing to abandoning depleted or incompetent formations – in geologies prone to lost circulation
  • The most economically priced NexSet Lite blend
  • Ideal for many primary and remedial applications in fragile formations susceptible to damage from excessive hydrostatic pressure
  • Lightweight cementing performance with midrange compressive strength
  • Ideal for applications requiring the highest solid fractions, highest compressive strength, or lowest densities

NexBlock™ Resin

The ultimate sealant to create permanent barriers in harsh, difficult-to-access well environments.

Even microfine cements can’t penetrate many of the small fissures through which gases and fluids can flow. The resulting lack of well integrity can lead to catastrophic well failures, including blowouts. Our NexBlock resin provides a reliable, easy-to-apply solution to produce durable flow barriers that endure mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses for the life of the well.

  • Solids-free formulation injects easily where cement cannot
  • Small amount of resin penetration delivers a strong, lasting barrier
  • Thoroughly seals and prevents growth of microannuli between sheath and casing
  • Repairs casing collar or stage tool leaks
  • Short transition time, exceptional ability to control gas migration
    • Complete shutoff of gas flow when placed on top of leaking bridge plugs or cement plugs
  • Superior mechanical properties vs. cement, to ensure a permanent barrier
  • Ability to densify slurries to maintain well security prior to resin hardening

NexBlock Iso

Specifically formulated to congeal NAF mud channels.

NexBlock ISO (isolation) technology is a high-performance cement additive that congeals any nonaqueous fluid (NAF) mud channels remaining behind the casing in horizontal wellbores. Left untreated, these channels can divert stimulation fluids into previously fractured stages, which leaves some reservoir sections untreated and unproductive.

Superior results in NAF-drilled wells

  • Improves zonal isolation and cement bonding
  • Reduces NAF mobility to create flow resistance within mud channels
  • Directs more frac fluid to the perforation zone
  • Helps to improve fracture length and efficiency
  • Promotes increased hydrocarbon recovery
