The startup develops a casing accessory made from composite materials specifically for cementing operations in the upstream oil and gas sector. This technology enhances the uniformity and efficiency of the cementing process, thereby improving the structural integrity and safety of oil and gas wells.

Problem
Achieving uniform cement distribution and effective zonal isolation in oil and gas wells, particularly in deviated and horizontal wellbores, is challenging due to uneven flow patterns and the presence of drilling cuttings. This can lead to sustained casing annulus pressure (CAP), requiring costly remedial cementing operations and potentially compromising well integrity.
Solution
Centraflow's CE-BOND is a casing accessory designed to enhance primary cement bond quality by redirecting downhole fluid flow. The tool features self-orienting flow diverter elements that are positioned in the annular space between the casing and the wellbore. By improving flow velocity and clearing residual cuttings, CE-BOND promotes more uniform cement placement around the casing. This technology helps eliminate sustained casing annulus pressure, reduce the need for remedial cementing, enhance well productivity through improved zonal isolation, and improve overall well safety by mitigating leaks through the cement sheath.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes oil and gas operators focused on improving well integrity and optimizing cementing operations, particularly in deviated and horizontal wells.
Features
- Self-orienting flow diverter elements to redirect fluid flow in the annulus.
- Enhanced cement displacement in deviated and horizontal wells.
- Improved flow velocity around the casing to remove residual cuttings.
- Mitigation of sustained casing annulus pressure (CAP).
- Reduction in the need for remedial cementing operations.
- Construction with advanced composite materials to minimize torque and drag during deployment.
