The function and benefits of Gilsonite for cementing are well known. this natural bitumen greatly enhances cement quality. It also eliminates the expenses and difficulties associated with utilizing several add-ons. Gilsonite guarantees regional isolation, minimizes environmental hazards, enhances final recovery, and lowers well ownership costs during the well’s life.

With its unique physical and chemical properties, Gilsonite provides a range of important benefits in slurry and set cement that are unmatched by any other single additive. 

Gilsonite eliminates the problems of free water

By controlling free water, Gilsonite helps stabilize slurry and eliminates the need for – and cost of – additional free-water-control agents. As a lost circulation material, it also improves zonal isolation by preventing water channeling on the upper side of the wellbore.
