At Bentworth Energy, we take pride in our modern cementing laboratory, a key element of our commitment to delivering exceptional well cementing services. Our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that enables us to perform a comprehensive range of cement slurry tests, ensuring the highest standards of quality and performance on every project. We also strictly adhere to API standards outlined in the ANSI/API 10 series, guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of our laboratory operations and testing procedures.
Our laboratory is fully equipped to carry out extensive testing on cement slurries. The thickening time test measures how long it takes for the slurry to thicken, crucial for maintaining pumpability during placement. The compressive strength test monitors the development of cement strength over time. The rheology test evaluates the flow characteristics of the slurry during mixing and pumping. Fluid loss tests determine the amount of fluid lost from the slurry, particularly under high bottom hole pressures. Free fluid tests assess the slurry’s tendency to segregate while static. These tests are essential for designing and validating cement slurries tailored to specific well conditions and challenges.
We conduct various testing phases to meet project requirements. These include pilot tests to develop initial slurry designs, confirmatory tests to validate formulations, and post-job tests to analyse performance following cementing operations. This comprehensive approach enables us to optimise slurry compositions, proactively address potential issues, and ensure consistent, high-quality results in the field.
