Abstract
Abstract A fluid loss additive and method are shown for use in cementing oil and gas well bores which comprises the reaction product of a polyamine compound and a high molecular weight sulfonated polymer. The polyamine and high molecular weight sulfonated polymer are prereacted in solution and dried to form a dry product which can be added to the dry cement blend on the shelf or added to the mixing water during the formation of the cement slurry at the well site. The prereacted additive is effective to control fluid loss in cement slurries at 350 DEG F. and higher.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An aqueous hydraulic cement composition of the type used in oil well cementing operations and settable to a solid mass, comprising: cement; water present in a sufficient amount to produce a pumpable slurry; and a fluid loss additive comprising the reaction product of a polyamine compound selected from the group consisting of polyalkylenepolyamines, polyalkylenimines, and mixtures thereof and a high molecular weight sulfonated polymer, said sulfonated polymer having a molecular weight in the range of 500,000 to 8,000,000, said polyamine and said high molecular weight sulfonated polymer being prereacted in solution and then dried to form said additive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An aqueous hydraulic cement composition of the type used in oil well cementing operations and settable to a solid mass, comprising: cement; water present in a sufficient amount to produce a pumpable slurry; and a fluid loss additive comprising the reaction product of a polyamine compound selected from the group consisting of polyalkylenepolyamines, polyalkylenimines, and mixtures thereof and a high molecular weight sulfonated polymer, said sulfonated polymer having a molecular weight in the range of 500,000 to 8,000,000, said polyamine and said high molecular weight sulfonated polymer being prereacted in solution and then dried to form said additive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
