Micro Matrix cement is a new cement from Halliburton that has an ultrafine particle size allowing it to penetrate and seal very small spaces. It develops high strength at low temperatures and can be used for primary cementing or squeeze cementing applications. Its small particle size allows it to penetrate where conventional cements cannot.

Halliburton's exclusive Micro Matrix® cement now offers solutions to special
cementing problems that have beset operators for many years. When you're faced with such challenges as how to obtain the needed compressive strength across a low-strength water zone; or how to seal off a microannulus smaller in cross-section than a typical cement particle; or even how to get the needed compressive strength when the BHCT is only 40°F, as in a subsea completion, Micro Matrix cement will provide the solution you need. And that isn't all. Micro Matrix cement can be your solution anytime you need a lightweight cement, a cement to penetrate extremely small spaces, or a cement with high compressive strength.
Micro Matrix Cement Represents a Major Advance in
Primary and Squeeze Cementing Technology • Develops high early compressive strengths at low temperatures. • Penetrates and helps seal areas normally inaccessible to oilfield cements.
For Squeeze Cementing, Micro Matrix Cement Helps Repair
Leaks and Correct Other Problems Micro Matrix cement has proven to be ideal for sealing casing leaks. Its penetrating ability and strength characteristics offer a distinct advantage over regular cement in virtually every squeeze application: controlling water or gas flow, sealing thief zones, repairing leaks, and facilitating abandonment.

Micro Matrix cement at 12 lb/gal showed 91% penetration through a 0.006-in. slot. Standard cement at 16 lb/gal showed zero penetration.
HALLIBURTON Micro Matrix Cement Also Offers Unique Properties for Primary Cementing For any primary cementing application requiring a high- strength, lightweight slurry, Micro Matrix could be your solution. Also, WOC times with Micro Matrix cement may be reduced by as much as 50% at low temperature as compared to premium cement. Micro Matrix cement expands slightly on hydration and offers significantly better bonding strength than typical cement at low temperature. And, Micro Matrix is versatile, compatible with virtually all of Halliburton's proven cement additives.
Ultrafine Cement Technology: The
Breakthrough Innovation That Produced Micro Matrix Cement
HAL1054 Micro Matrix cement is micro ground so that the particle size is 10 or more times smaller than standard cement. These two 1-in. diameter syringes show Micro Matrix cement (on left) has This smaller particle size has been particularly useful for penetrated 20/40 sand while conventional cement (on right) has bridged. remedial cementing where penetration of small cracks is Micro Matrix cement is able to penetrate openings as small as 0.05 mm or 100 mesh sand. required, and for wells completed and produced that develop high permeability streaks resulting in adverse production economics. Standard cement slurries, because of their greater particle size, are unable to produce more than a skin effect following a squeeze procedure. Micro Matrix cement, on the other hand, has been proven to penetrate small channels, thus helping shut off undesired water, gas, or steam production. HAL1055
