Fly ash cementing compositions and methods

摘要

The present invention provides fly ash cementing compositions and methods which are useful in any cementing application, and are particularly suitable for cementing in subterranean zones penetrated by well bores. The cementing compositions can include a portion of the drilling fluid used to drill a well bore as a component thereof. Also, drilling fluid can be disposed of by combining it with the fly ash cementing composition whereby it solidifies in a disposal location.
