For cement mixed at 13.2 lbm/galUS [1.58 g/cm3], slurry and set cement properties were comparable for the conventional and Fulcrum technology-enhanced cements, except that the channeled mud near the Fulcrum technology-enhanced cement had much higher resistance to flow. Results for other densities are available upon request.

背景
As operators accelerate the use of Fulcrum cement-conveyed frac performance technology to improve stage-to-stage isolation before fracturing, lab work was designed to verify zonal isolation and cement stability with and without the additive. Conventional cement and cement enhanced with Fulcrum technology were tested for common critical cement properties such as compressive strength and thickening time.
