ACID-SOLUBLE CEMENT COMPOSITION

A cement composition for use in a well that penetrates a subterranean formation comprising: cement; and water, wherein the water is in a concentration in the range of about 220% to about 800% by weight of the cement, wherein the cement composition is acid soluble. A method of treating a subterranean formation comprising: introducing the cement composition into the subterranean formation; allowing the composition to set; and contacting the set cement composition with an acid.

EXPANSION AGENTS FOR CEMENT COMPOSITIONS

Expansive cement compositions for use in subterranean wellbores that include a monophase amorphous hydraulic binder material (MAHBM). The MAHBM may include a plurality of particles having a silica core and an amorphous coating substantially surrounding the silica core. The coating may comprise, for example, a plurality of amorphous α-dicalcium silicate hydrate nanoparticles or microparticles. The MAHBM may be used as an expansion agent in a cement composition or used as an expansive cement by itself.
