What is a scavenger slurry

Schlumberger Private
Water or Mix Fluid
added on the fly

Scavenger
Lead or Tail
Slurry

Conventionally a 1.3-1.5 SG
(11-13 lb/gal) cement slurry
Problems of conventional scavenger slurries

Unpredictable rheology
Poor friction hierarchy
Unstable

Schlumberger Private
Free fluid
Poor mud removal performance
1.5 SG (12.5lb/gal), with 4%
High risk of cement left in pipe (CLIP) BWOB D020

What if these deficiencies could be fixed on the fly?
