BETOSIM™ is not a product line with a laboratory attached. It is a formulation platform, a design method and a data discipline — and every system that leaves it carries the evidence of all three.
Conventional oilfield cement is a commodity: a class of Portland cement, a handful of additives and a pump schedule. It performs adequately in the wells it was designed for — and it is the single most common origin of loss of well integrity in the wells it was not.
BETOSIM systems are engineered cementitious materials. The binder chemistry, the particle-size distribution, the reinforcing and healing phases and the fluid-loss behaviour are treated as design variables, tuned against a defined failure mode rather than a generic specification. The result behaves less like cement and more like a purpose-built structural material that happens to be pumpable.
The same platform produces our strategic concretes. A material engineered to hold a 3,000-metre annulus and one engineered to hold a long-span structure are, in laboratory terms, the same discipline pointed at a different load case.
There is no BETOSIM catalogue number that fits your well. There is a workflow that produces the system your well needs, and a test record that proves it before it is pumped.
Formation strength and lithology, thermal regime, pressure and injection cycling, offset well history, prior integrity failures, regulatory barrier requirements.
A candidate system is drawn from the formulation library and tuned — density, elasticity, healing capacity, thickening time and fluid loss set against the identified failure mode.
Validated to API Spec 10A / RP 10B-2 protocols, witnessed by the client’s engineers where required, and released with the worksheets that support every number on the sheet.
The library is the asset. Each validated formulation is held with its full test record — composition, conditions, apparatus, operator, date and result — so that a design produced today can be traced to the evidence that justified it, and reproduced years later in a different laboratory on a different continent.
This is what makes the technology licensable. A licensee does not receive a recipe; they receive a family of validated formulations, the method that selects between them and the data discipline that keeps the result defensible in front of an operator’s engineers, an auditor or a regulator.
We would rather explain the status of our evidence than overstate it. Our published headline figures come from the group’s own validation programme. Independent re-verification is under way, and we say so plainly until it is complete.
Results from the group’s validation programme; independent UK ISO 17025 re-verification in progress. Full worksheets available under NDA — request the technical dossier →
BETOSIM Ltd is building its United Kingdom testing and verification capability around accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025, the international standard for the competence of testing laboratories. That programme is in progress; we are not yet accredited, and we do not describe ourselves as accredited.
Until it completes, independent verification is obtained through recognised accredited laboratories, and our own results are published as what they are: results from the group’s validation programme, with the worksheets available for inspection under NDA.
Our licensees will sell into markets where a performance claim is a contractual and sometimes regulatory undertaking. An accredited chain of evidence is not a marketing asset — it is what makes the claim survivable when an operator’s technical authority, an insurer or a regulator asks the obvious question. Compliance is the moat.
We engage the United Kingdom research ecosystem — universities and accredited laboratories — as the environment in which this work is done and checked. More about the company →
Formulation-level data, laboratory worksheets, test conditions and the validation programme are released under NDA to operators, prospective licensees and their technical advisers.
