Research and Development
At Magnum we have been praised for our ability to offer efficient and innovative solutions for our customers. Our company quickly adapts to market demands and fluctuations by creating cutting-edge technologies. Magnum’s Research and Development team continuously improves and expands our product line to offer clients a wide range of customizable solutions. Our blends, technology, and equipment are developed exclusively for the Western Canadian and North American markets.
We provide our customers with the highest quality cement products by using the newest materials and technology available on the market. Magnum works closely with chemical suppliers and manufactures to develop and/or modify fit-for-purpose technologies that meet the demands of today’s oil and gas fields. Magnum’s innovation and development has brought new technologies into the market that demonstrate improvements to well-life integrity and longevity.
Our blend design goes beyond the standard, with innovative lightweight technologies such as 900KG/m3 (lighter than water) slurry systems and lightweight thermal designs for depleted or weak formations.
Environmental Initiatives
Since the inception of our cementing division in 2008, we knew a vigilant efficiency mindset was necessary to reduce our carbon footprint. To do this, we have committed to being industry leaders in reducing waste, using less resources, and measuring efficiency across all our service lines. Our high-quality standards, continuous improvement, and alignment with ISO standards make all our service lines a superior choice among the competition. We are continuously committed to developing further technologies to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a greener planet.
Some of our environmental innovations to date include:
- 25% less CO2 production in cementing activities compared to traditional industry practices.
- Compatible additives in our laboratory blends to minimize waste and create long-standing results.
- Ground protection through drip trays and spill protection devices where required.
- Ongoing installation of APU’s into our fleet to reduce idling pollution by more than 85%.
- Opportunity to combine comprehensive services for efficiency and commitment to environmental goals.
- Incentivized smaller crew sizes and hose reel systems to create on-site efficiency.
- Commitment to reducing paper and plastic waste at corporate office locations.
- Dustless mixing units for reduced to no dust release into the atmosphere.
