RMC’s Geothermal drilling and completions experience can match your operations up with the newest technologies and products developed specifically for the geothermal market. We can provide equipment and parts for the harshest of geothermal environments with high temperature and acidity.
Geothermal Drilling:
High Temp Drilling fluid additives
HPHT mud pump bull nose pistons (flex lip also available) that can operate at 300F at 7500psi
Drilling bits that operate efficiently at HPHT with maximum ROP
26″, 23″, 17-1/2″, 12-1/4″, 8-1/2″ IADC
Geothermal Drilling Mud Cooler Systems allow for Cooler fluids for safer crew working conditions, especially with oil based mud programs. Cooling the mud improves the overall life of equipment in the mud path such as mud pump fluid end expendables, centrifugal pumps, vibrator hoses, mud gate valves, Rotary hoses, Top drive gooseneck/Rotary swivels and drill bits. Mud cooling packages (Shipping frame style or Trailer version offered)
Geothermal Completions:
Specific additives for cementing geothermal wells
SILICA FLOUR (Download SILICA FLOUR Technical Data Sheet)
Silica Flour is finely ground silica sand used in oilwell HPHT cement whenever the cement will be exposed to temperatures of 230⁰F to 400⁰F typically found in Geothermal Energy Wells. It prevents the loss of strength, or retrogression, that oilwell cement would otherwise experience at these temperatures. Silica flour is available in 120, 140, 200, 270 & 325 mesh. (200 Mesh in STOCK at all times)
SP-18L (Download SP-18L Technical Data Sheet)
This Synthetic Polymer is a fluid loss additive with wide utility in the 140°-300°F temperature ranges typically found in Geothermal Energy Wells. It is effective in all API classes of cement, and is compatible with salt up to saturation. It can be used in cement slurries at typical dosages of 0.2 to 1.0 gallons per sack of cement. It is effective in all salt concentrations.
CCP-35 (Download CCP-35 Technical Data Sheet)
CCP-35 is a versatile dispersant/friction reducer for all oilwell cements. It is effective at salt concentrations from zero to saturation and at
temperatures from 100F to 400F typically found in Geothermal Energy Wells. CCP-35 can be used at loadings from 0.25 to 0.75 pound per sack of cement, depending on slurry density, type of cement, and presence of other additives.
MSLS-24L (Download MSLS-24L Technical Data Sheet)
MSLS-24L is a liquid lignosulfonate cement retarder for all classes of oilwell cement. It is designed for use in the 200F-320F temperature range typically found in Geothermal Energy Wells. MSLS-24L is typically used at levels of 0.1 to 0.5 gallons per sack of cement in its normal temperature range. Its action may be intensified to give performance at over 400 degrees if required through the addition of borates or of certain organic acids.
