Product Information

AND

Applications

A-7 products are cement accelerators that help reduce waiting-on-cement (WOC) time. They are used for
primary, plug or squeeze cementing to develop early compressive strength and shorten thickening time. A-7F and
A-7P are 94-97% pure flake or pellet anhydrous calcium chloride with a specific gravity of 1.96. These forms
normally are dry- blended in the cement but also dissolve very readily in the mixing water. A-7L is typically used
offshore, or where dry-blending facilities are unavailable. It is a clear, liquid calcium chloride solution added to the
mixing water. Other chlorides, such as sodium and potassium have less accelerating effect when using
equivalent concentrations.

Features

Cement Accelerator
A-7 provides high-early strength development in cement.

Easily Blended or Dispersed


A-7F and A-7P are easily blended in the cement or dispersed in the mixing water. A-7L is easily dispersed in the
mixing water.

Compatibility
A-7 is compatible with all API cements.

Benefits

Reduces WOO time, saving valuable rig time.


Economical as compared to some other accelerators.
Effectively accelerates all types of cement for versatile application.
A-7F and A-7P are used in concentrations of 1 to 4% BWOC, typically 2%.
A-7L normally is added to the mixing water. Concentrations are expressed in gallons per 100 sacks of cement
(GHS). It has a specific gravity of 1.317 and 27 GHS of A-7L is equivalent to approximately 1% dry calcium
chloride.

Safety Precautions

Use normal personal protective equipment when working with A-7F, A-7P or A-7L. A-7F and A-7P produce a heat
reaction when added to water. Take care to avoid any potential hazard from the excessive heat.

Limitations

A-7 causes increased cement slurry fluid loss when used with HEC polymer-type fluid loss control additives.

Competitive Products

CaCl2, S-1, Liquid CaCl2 and D-77.
