Highly flexible cement systems can be designed to accommodate a broad range of well conditions with a relatively small number of additives that are readily available from any cementing service company. Fluid-loss additives can be used with dispersants and small amounts of KCl (when applicable) to design slurries for most primary cementing applications - e.g., cementing in CO/sub 2/ and salt-zone environments and prevention of annular flow after cementing. This paper illustrates how materials and slurry properties that are easily specified can be used to improve wellsite success.
