Assignee:

Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. - Duncan OK

International Classification:

E21B 33/13

US Classification:

166293, 106676

Abstract:

Methods for performing cementing operations in a subterranean zone under high temperature conditions include forming a cementing composition having a density of less than about 10. 5 pounds per gallon, pumping the cementing composition into the subterranean zone by way of the well bore and allowing the cementing composition to set therein. The cementing composition includes calcium aluminate, water, and a lightweight additive having a specific gravity of less than about 0. 70.

Appl. No.:

13/763384

Inventors:

Sam Lewis - Houston TX, US
Michael Szymanski - Duncan OK, US
Christopher Gordon - Spring TX, US

International Classification:

C04B 16/04
C08L 33/26
C08K 5/109

US Classification:

524 4, 524280

Abstract:

Of the many compositions and methods provided herein, an example method includes a method of treating a subterranean formation that comprises combining components comprising water and a density-matched suspension to prepare a treatment fluid, wherein the density-matched suspension comprises a suspending liquid and a solid particle suspended in the suspending liquid, and introducing the treatment fluid into a well bore. An example composition includes a suspension that comprises a suspending liquid comprising a hydrophobic liquid, wherein the hydrophobic liquid hydrolyzes when placed in contact with an aqueous fluid to form hydrophilic products, and a solid particle suspended in the suspending liquid, wherein the suspension is a density-matched suspension.
