Benefits
- Product quality, consistency, and continuous testing: When well cement for the oil and gas industry is produced, the clinker is analyzed microscopically to ensure it has the required characteristics. A keen level of attention continues throughout production with thickening time evaluations, a fluid loss and free fluid evaluation, rheology, particle size evaluation, compressive strength measurement and complete API specification testing. From start to finish, our technical experts monitor the performance of our product in end-market applications to provide continuous improvement to our product and service portfolio.
- Sophisticated technical service: Our well cement sales and technical staff trained, experienced, and committed to providing prompt and dependable technical service.
