DOSAS Cementing Laboratory Services
In partnership with European Laboratory we provide laboratory testing and engineering services including cement slurry testing API 10B and API 10A as below:
— Compressive Strength
Fan instruments allow standard crush or non-destructive compressive-strength tests to be performed under simulated downhole pressure and temperature conditions. |
— Density
Density is a measurement of fluid weight per unit of volume. Fann has instruments for the lab and field to make that measurement. |
|
— Fluid Loss Test
A fluid-loss test determines the relative effectiveness of a cement slurry to retain or lose its water phase. Controlling fluid loss is important in pumping the slurry to its final location. |
— Static Gel Strength
Chemical reactions occur within an oil well cement mixture as it becomes a solid. |
|
— Static Gel Strength
The thickening time of a slurry is calculated to determine the time required to mix and pump the slurry. |
— Ultrasonic Cement Testing
An ultrasonic compressive-strength test is used to help plan a cementing schedule for a well. |
|
—Viscosity
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress, measured with viscometers and rheometers. |

Solutions by Integrating the Technology and Chemistry
Our cementing engineers and consultants work with operators and cementing service providers to:
- Identify well events that may prevent achieving complete zonal isolation
- Perform cement integrity modeling to predict the risk of cement sheath failure
- Select the cement mechanical properties targets to prevent cement sheath damage
- Conduct field and project cement integrity diagnostic studies
- Design and lead cement integrity research and development projects
