摘要:
The current invention provides improved methods and compositions for completing a well bore. In one aspect, the current invention provides a process for preparing a foamed cement composition. The process utilizes air to foam the cement after the air has been treated to lower the oxygen content below that concentration necessary to support combustion. Additionally, the current invention provides a process for completing a well bore using foamed cement wherein the foam is generated with reduced oxygen content air. Finally, the current invention provides a foamed cement composition wherein the gaseous portion of the composition is air having a reduced oxygen content.

The process utilizes air to foam the composition after the air has been treated to lower the oxygen content below that concentration necessary to support combustion. Additionally, the current invention provides a process for completing and/or treating a well bore using a foamed composition wherein the foam is generated with reduced oxygen content air. Finally, a preferred embodiment of the invention provides a foamed cement composition wherein the gaseous portion of the composition is air having a reduced oxygen content.

Well completion foamed spacer fluids and methods of using the foamed spacer fluids are provided. A method of the invention for displacing a first fluid from a well bore with an incompatible second fluid comprises the following steps. A foamed spacer fluid is placed between the first and second fluids to separate the first and second fluids and to remove the first fluid from the walls of the well bore. Thereafter, the first fluid and the foamed spacer fluid are displaced from the well bore with the second fluid.

Oil-based settable spotting fluid compositions and methods of using the compositions are provided. The oil-based settable spotting fluid compositions are basically comprised of oil, an emulsifying surfactant for emulsifying the oil with water whereby an oil-external emulsion is formed, a de-emulsifying surfactant which in time de-emulsifies said oil-external emulsion when the emulsion is contacted with external water, a hydraulic settable component selected from the group consisting of ASTM Class C or the equivalent fly ash and ASTM Class F or the equivalent fly ash together with a source of calcium and water selected from the group consisting of fresh water and salt water.
