Continuous liquid additive system

Continuous liquid additive system

The Continuous Liquid Additive System (LAS) represents a fundamental shift in how cementing additives are handled—moving from manual batch addition to fully automatic, continuous, unmanned intelligent operation. Developed through a collaborative R&D initiative between SJ Petro and CNOOC, this system eliminates the human error and inconsistency that have long plagued traditional cementing operations.

High-Capacity, Multi-Tank Configuration

The fully automatic LAS features a total of 8 liquid storage tanks, enabling the system to handle multiple additive types simultaneously. This multi-tank configuration provides:

Uninterrupted operation – Switch between tanks without stopping the cementing job

Flexible formulation – Handle complex additive recipes with multiple components

Extended run time – Large total storage capacity for long-duration cementing operations
