Micromax FF

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION                                                 

Micromax FF is the non‐dusting and free ‐flowing  version  of  Micromax.  It  is  Manganese Tetraoxide  (Mn3O4).  The Micromax  particles are collected in a narrow particle size distribution and processed to make free‐flowing aggregates. The free‐flowing characteristics of Micromax FF® allow for its easy transportation to the job site.

The specific characteristics of Micromax‐FF® are a high specific gravity (4.8 SG), small, colloidal‐sized particles and large surface area (2‐4 m /g) make it a very attractive weighting agent that enables the creation of stable slurries. The small particles act as an aid to suspend other particles, resulting in uniform downhole conditions. Micromax FF® provides additional benefits as it is:

  • less‐abrasive
  • an effective tracer material
  • non‐magnetic

FEATURES & BENEFITS                       

  • Versatility of applications

Micromax‐FF® is used in versatile applications like:

  • Restricted ECD applications (e.g. long liner cementation, deepwater cementing, deviated & ERD wells)
    • HPHT cementing and spacer fluids.
    • To extend the density windows of cement slurries, spacers and other fluids etc.
  • Green Profile

Micromax FF ®is not classified as being hazardous and is PLONOR certified.

  • Acid/chelate removable

Therefore, Micromax FF® is much less damaging to formations because of its small particle size and acid solubility. It can easily flow through sand completions such as wire‐wrapped screens. Unlike Barite it is soluble in a range of common acids and chelates.

  • Compatibility

Micromax‐FF® is fully compatible with all common oilfield additives.

In Conclusion, Micromax FF® allows better ECD management during its application as a weighting agent in cementing operations because of it’s small particle size. It’s pherical morphology and inertness also enhance the stability of cement slurries and weighted spacers. The spherical shape of the Micromax FF® particles also provides lubricity to spacers. Thus, improving the rheological properties. These factors will result in better mud removal and overall improvement in the quality of cementing job.
