Non-retarding fluid loss additives for well cementing compositions

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5248108
A method is described of cementing a well bore, comprising the steps of: mixing together a hydraulic cement, water in an amount to produce a pumpable slurry, and a fluid loss additive which comprises a copolymer of a first monomer of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and a second anionic monomer having a functionality selected from the group consisting of carboxlyate and sulfonate, the monomer ratio of the nonionic water soluble monomer to the anionic monomer being in the range from about 85:15 to 95:5, and the copolymer having a molecular weight in the range from about 200,000 to 400,000; pumping the cement slurry to the desired location in the well bore; and allowing the cement slurry to harden to a solid mass.
