The invention comprises a concrete form. The concrete form comprises a first panel having a first primary surface for contacting plastic concrete and a second primary surface opposite the first surface, wherein the first panel is made from a rigid plastic sheet or a metal sheet; and a second panel spaced from the second primary surface of the first panel, wherein the second panel is made from a rigid plastic sheet or a metal sheet. The concrete form also comprises a layer of insulating material disposed between the first panel and the second panel. A method of using the concrete form is also disclosed.

Portland cement compositions for use in high-temperature, high pressure wells are designed such that the lime-to-silica molar ratio is between 0.5 and 1.0, and the alumina-to-silica molar ratio is between 0.05 and 0.10. After curing and setting at temperatures between 85° C. and 300° C., the cement compositions form tobermorite as an initial and permanent calcium silicate hydrate phase.
