Methods for high temperature lightweight cementing

摘要

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.
