A cement composition: (a) a hydraulic cement; (b) water; and (c) an alkyl polyglycoside derivative, wherein the alkyl polyglycoside derivative is selected from the group consisting of: sulfonates, betaines, an inorganic salt of any of the foregoing, and any combination of any of the foregoing. A method comprising the steps of: (A) forming the cement composition; and (B) introducing the cement composition into the well. Preferably, the cement composition is foamed.

A degradable composite composition including polyglycolic acid and a boron-containing accelerator, and methods of using the same (for example, as a constituent of a treatment fluid of a subterranean formation) are described. The degradable composite composition may be a composition that degrades in environments typically encountered downhole, such as oilfield environments/conditions and/or fluids.

A polymeric formulation for green building materials for replacement of end products commonly formed from a broad range of materials, such as concrete and mixes thereof, cement and mixes thereof, petrochemical based mixes and products thereof, rubber, plastic wood domestic and commercial shingles of all types including cedar wood and ceramic verities, flooring of all types including ceramic tiles, recreational vehicles for water use and sports such as boats, automobile components and bodies, electrical wire coatings, all types of pipes commonly used in the plumbing, gas and oil industries including the replacement of pipes traditionally formed from poly vinyl chloride formulations, bricks and all other forms of architectural structures to list but a few. A method by which a biopolymer can be generated using a process requiring no heat or any other form of energy using an ionized aqueous cure agent is sprayed over a molded gel.
