Microspheres are used in the oil and gas production as additive for light-weight cement slurries, which allows to:
• reduce cement slurry density to 1,22-1,24 g/cm3.
• decrease the pressure of cement slurry column while cementing under 25-45 atm.
• prevent formation hydrofracture and loss of cement slurry in Cenomanian deposits.
• reduce filtrate invasion.
• provide designed top of cement.
• improve adhesion of cement body and casing and ensure better zonal isolation.
• reduce capital expenditures through abandonment of two-stage cementing technology and timesaving on well completion.
• today, a number of Russian oil and gas producers and oilfield services providers (OJSC “Slavneft-Megionneftegaz”, CJSC “SSK”, etc.) have already switched to light weight cement slurries containing aluminosilicate microspheres produced by the company. More than 1500 wells have been cemented over the seven years of operation. The accumulated experience shows that the technology provides double effect: reduced capital expenditures and improved cementing quality.

Over the past five years, one of the company’s customers – OJSC “Slavneft-Megionneftegaz” – has cemented more than 800 wells using microspheres supplied by the company.

More than 20 thousand tons of the aluminosilicate microsphere have been supplied to international oil producing, oilfield services and construction companies (Smartech Technology Petroleum Services (UAE), Cometals (USA), Elkem AS Materials (Norway), Asachi Glass (Japan), etc.

The company uses a multi-level process control from feedstock control to quality control of finished products in big bags supplied to the customer. These measures ensure superior quality of the microspheres. There has not been a single complaint from the customers.

Epitaksia is one of Russia’s leading producers of aluminosilicate microsphere. The increasing domestic demand for the product exceeds supply.
