WELL CEMENTING COMPOSITONS FOR COLD ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The present invention provides improved well cementing compositions for use in cold environment, where the circulating temperature of the cement is typically within the range of 5 to 20 DEG C. The improved well cementing compositions are essentially comprised of an aqueous fluid, a hydraulic cement binder and a set-accelerating admixture comprising an alkali or alkaline earth metal nitrate and an alkali or alkaline earth metal nitrite.
