AQUEOUS CEMENT COMPOSITIONS INCORPORATING PARTICLES THAT ARE ACTIVATED TO CONTROL RHEOLOGY WHEN WATER SOLUBLE PORTIONS OF THE PARTICLES ARE RELEASED IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER

摘要

The present invention provides strategies for improved control of fluid loss, hydration, settling, and separation of aqueous cementing compositions over a wide temperature and time range. The present invention is based at least in part upon water-effusing particles used as additives for the compositions, wherein the particles are activated to control rheology when water soluble portions of the particles are released in the presence of water.
