This scouring or removing of the mud cake from the wall of the well bore is obtained through achieving a desired de
gree of turbulence in the cement slurry as it flows upwardly in the annulus between the well casing and the wall of
the wellbore, and heretofore, certain minimum flow rates have been necessary to achieve the necessary velocities
of flow in the annulus between the casing and the wall of the well bore, in order that the proper mud removal may
take place, and the achieving of such flow rates has required the application of certain minimum pressures. The
present invention, in reducing the frictional resistance set up in opposition to the flow of cement slurry permits the
obtaining of the desired turbulent flow with lower flow rates and lower velocities in the annulus between the casing
and the wall of the well bore, and accordingly, the application of decreased pump pressures to force the cement
slurry into place in the desired manner.
It is therefore, a principal object of the invention to provide an improved cement additive for Portland type cements
which reduces the resistance to flow of a cement slurry through conductors, annuli and the like.

The invention is directed in particular to an additive for Portland type cements which reduces the friction encountered as
the cement mixture is flowed or pumped into place, and which also permits the utilization of decreased quantities of water
in the cement mixture, thus appreciably increasing the strength of the hardened and cured cement.
In the art of drilling and completing wells, such as petroleum wells, water wells, and other types of wells, it is often desirable
to cement the well casing in place in the well bore, and to this end, a cement slurry is pumped downwardly through the well
bore, usually in a conductor within the well casing, out through the open lower end of the casing, and then upwardly around
the casing between the outer wall of the casing and the wall of the well bore. In most instances, some type of drilling mud will
have been employed in drilling the well bore, and accordingly, the wall of the latter will usually have thereon a cake of mud
material which remains in place after the drilling has been completed.
To obtain most effective cementing of the casing in the well bore, it is nearly always desirable that the cake of mud be scoured
or loosened from the wall of the well bore and displaced by the cement slurry so that there will result a solid layer of hardened
and cured cement between the casing and the earth formations through which the well bore passes, the cake of mud having
been eliminated and removed from place.
