What is SealBond™?

• SealBond™ is our preferred spacer system, especially for


formations with loss circulation challenges or weaker
formations
• It can be used as a stand alone spacer or can be applied
as a loss circulation system to mitigate losses while
drilling
• Non damaging to reservoir
• Allows for higher ECD’s and prevents cement fallback

SealBond™ Spacer System Mechanism

• Hydrophobically modified polysaccharides form micelles


• Dynamic equilibrium between adsorption and dissolution

100 nm

3 © 2012 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.


SealBond™ Spacer System Mechanism

• When Δp increases, more micelles adsorb and realign in


a layer along the formation

4 © 2012 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.


SealBond™ Spacer System Mechanism

• At max. Δp the layer of adsorbed micelles has


transformed into an impermeable seal

100 nm

5 © 2012 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.


SealBond™ Spacer System Mechanism

• A flow from the opposite direction transforms the seal


back into micelles suspended in the spacer fluid

*The concentration of the SealBond spacer concentrate can be increased as outlined above-left to provide enhanced wellbore
strengthening, seepage loss control, when increased rheology is required. (Note: These concentrations are ppb of water not total
spacer. Required loadings decrease as density increases.) When losses can be attributed to larger fractures SealBond Plus should
be included as outlined above-right.

SealBond™ Spacer while drilling – WQ-2 project

• Drilled at 2435 m and encountered losses @ 60 bbl/hr.


POOH to previous shoe while mixing mud
• Prepare 100 bbl SealBond 50 + SealBond Plus 25 ppb
• RIH to bottom. Pump SealBond through ATK/OTK/LTK at
slow rate
• Circulate slowly to avoid differential stuck
• Losses reduced to 10 bbl/hr
• Able to POOH safely and allow time to mix fresh mud
