A method and system for generating a rapid digestion process (“RDP”) product are described. The method includes receiving a bitumen compound and first heating the bitumen compound to 320° F. to 420° F. The method then proceeds to add tire rubber to the bitumen compound. The bitumen compound and the tire rubber are mixed for 5 minutes to 360 minutes during a second heating to 525° F. to 700° F. Further, sulfur is added to the mixture of tire rubber and bitumen compound. These steps generate the RDP product. The RDP product is then cooled for transfer to a storage vessel.

Methods, compositions, and tools for use in creating rapidly forming plugs in situ in subterranean formations. In one instance, the disclosure provides a method that includes: placing a first pill comprising a calcium-aluminate-based cement composition at a plug location within the wellbore with the tubing; and placing a second pill comprising an alkaline fluid composition into the wellbore adjacent to the first pill with the tubing. In some cases there is a spacer fluid or spacer device between the first pill and the second pill. In some cases tubing having a mixing device is located at the bottom of the tubing in the wellbore to aid I mixing the first pill and the second pill to facilitate a chemical in situ reaction of the first pill and the second pill. The reaction between the first pill and the second pill forms a set plug at the plug location.

This document relates to methods for preventing or inhibiting the formation of micro-cracks and fractures in the cement of an oil well using cement compositions that contain cross-linked polyrotaxane additives. The cement compositions containing the cross-linked polyrotaxane additives exhibit increased stiffness without suffering a decrease in compressive strength, as compared to the same cement without the cross-linked polyrotaxane additive.

An accelerator powder for cement and also rapid-setting binder compositions which contain the accelerator powder and the use in mortar or concrete. The accelerator powder includes from 10 to 99.7% by weight of a water-insoluble mineral powder P and from 0.3 to 90% by weight of at least one compound V selected from the group consisting of alkali metal halides and alkaline earth metal halides, alkali metal nitrates and alkaline earth metal nitrates, alkali metal nitrites and alkaline earth metal nitrites, alkali metal thiocyanates and alkaline earth metal thiocyanates and hydroxyalkylamines or salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.

Disclosed herein is a liquid salt activator comprising a salt, a suspending aid, and water, wherein the salt is present in the liquid salt activator in an amount of from about 5 wt. % to about 95 wt. %, based on the total weight of the liquid salt activator. Also disclosed herein is an activated extended life slurry (ELS) composition comprising a hydraulic cement, a supplementary cementitious material, the liquid salt activator, and an aqueous fluid. The activated ELS composition can be used in a method of servicing a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation.
