A method comprising (a) contacting a suspension composition, water, and optionally one or more additives to form a wellbore servicing fluid at a location proximate a wellsite; wherein the suspension composition comprises a particulate material, an organic carrier fluid, and a suspension viscosifier; and (b) placing the wellbore servicing fluid in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The wellsite comprises an offshore platform, a floating vessel, or combinations thereof; and wherein the wellbore is offshore. A suspension composition comprising a particulate material, an organic carrier fluid, and a suspension viscosifier; wherein the particulate material is substantially insoluble in the organic carrier fluid; wherein the particulate material comprises a water-interactive material and/or a water-insoluble material; and wherein the organic carrier fluid comprises a glycol and/or a glycol ether.

The invention relates to a product and method for repair of roadway or pavement damage such as potholes, concrete/asphalt joints, and other damage to paved surfaces. The product can be adjusted in terms of the cure time of the product, allowing the user to customize the product for best use in the particular repair being made. Fast cures can be obtained of 5 minutes or less, suitable for quick repair of a small defect in pavement, or the cure time can be extended to 60 or more minutes, suitable for larger projects that can take many hours to complete. The product, when mixed, handles like easily pourable concrete mix, but acts like a hot mix repair when cured.
