A long setting time and a very swift compressive strength development are obtained at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1994Date of Patent: April 2, 1996Assignee: Dowell, a division of Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Veronique Barlet-Gouedard, Hugo Hendriks, Pierre Maroy

Patent number: 5503671Abstract: The invention relates to the cementing of high temperature wells. A cement retarder comprises a phosphonic acid derivative combined with borax in a weight ratio of phosphonic acid derivative to borax of about 0.025 to about 0.2. A long pumping time is realized with rapid compressive strength development following placement.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1995Date of Patent: April 2, 1996Assignee: Dowell, a division of Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Jean-Michel Casabonne, Marc Jouve, Erik Nelson

Patent number: 5490889Abstract: A blended hydraulic cement binder, is disclosed, consisting of water, fly ash, Type III portland cement, Type I portland cement, slag cement, ground silica, boric acid, borax, citric acid and an alkali metal activator. The cement binder and sequences for mixing the composition, is particularly useful because it provides: time to mix all components adequately, unrestricted transporting time that can be terminated, at will, followed by alterable placement and finishing times. The cement binder can be used as a neat cement or it can be extended with fillers, such as sand and gravel, to make mortar or concrete, that rapidly gains very high structural strengths.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: February 13, 1996Inventors: William D. Kirkpatrick, Carole W. Kirkpatrick

Patent number: 5489334Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing a hydraulic cement binder for both general and special applications, consisting of water, cementitious materials, boric acid, borax, citric acid, an alkali metal activator, and with or without ground silica. This cement making process with sequences for mixing the composition, is particularly useful because it provides: time to mix all components adequately, unrestricted transporting time that can be terminated, at will, followed by alterable placement and finishing times. The process provides the means for creating a hydraulic cement binder that can be used as a neat cement or it can be extended with fillers, such as sand and gravel, to make mortar or concrete, that rapidly gains very high structural strengths.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: February 6, 1996Inventors: William D. Kirkpatrick, Carole W. Kirkpatrick
