The invention concerns the cementaion of an oil bore hole or of similar bore holes. According to the invention, the theoretical acoustic impedance of cement is evaluated as a function of some theoretical cementaion parameters, this impedance is corrected as a function of the actual meeasured density of the cement slag during pumping, a correlation is established between with the depth as a functio...

Physical properties of aqueous polydiorganosiloxane dispersions such as freeze/thaw stability and physical properties of the elastomeric films derived therefrom, such as high temperature heat stability and clarity, are improved by selecting an appropriate surfactant with specific characteristics. Herein, the polydiorganosiloxane dispersion is made through a direct emulsification process. The high ...
