Expansive cements for use in cementing subterranean wells comprise water, an inorganic cement and one or more particulate materials that swell upon contact with a water immiscible fluid. The cements may further comprise a water immiscible fluid. Such cements are designed to seal microannuli arising from the presence of water immiscible fluids on casing surfaces, borehole wall surfaces or both.

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 present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing an engineered flooring product comprising a core layer. The method provides the steps of: (a) mixing a hydrate compound, one or more stabilizing agents, and water in a mixer, forming a raw material slurry; (b) spreading a first layer of the raw material slurry onto a cull plate; (c) curing the first layer of raw material slurry; (d) after step (c), releasing the cured first layer of raw material slurry from the cull plate; (e) after step (d), trimming the cured first layer of raw material slurry released from the cull plate; and, (f) after step (e), cooling the cured first layer of raw material slurry released from the cull plate for at least about 24 hours at a temperature ranging from about 10° C.-30° C. thereby forming the engineered flooring product.

According to some embodiments, a curable mixture configured to set in the presence of water, wherein the mixture comprises magnesium oxide, a primary cementitious component and at least one accelerant. A proportion by weight of the primary cementitious component is 80% to 120% of a proportion of magnesium oxide by weight.
