High strength foamed well cement compositions and methods of cementing subterranean zones penetrated by well bores are provided. The foamed well cement compositions are basically comprised of a hydraulic cement, hydrophilic fibers, water sufficient to form a pumpable slurry, a mixture of foaming and foam stabilizing surfactants and sufficient gas to foam the slurry.

A core sample test apparatus applies pressure to the core sample and measures responsive longitudinal deformation with two sensors and lateral deformation with two orthogonal pairs of diametrically disposed sensors. The apparatus holds the core sample under test in a sleeve to which no or insignificant end torsional forces are applied during installation due to rotationally blocked washers used adjacent the ends of the sleeve. Concurrent acoustic testing can also be applied.

Core sample test method and apparatus

A method and system for testing a two-phase compressible composition, such as a foamed cementing composition, enables testing for mechanical properties while maintaining original pressurized gas volumes in the composition. A specimen of the composition can be prepared, transferred and tested without disrupting the dynamic status of the specimen. This allows for testing of the composition under conditions in which the composition will be placed in an oil or gas well. A related specimen test device is also disclosed. The method includes pressurizing the two-phase compressible composition in a first vessel to a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure; pressurizing a second vessel to the pressure; transferring at least a portion of the composition from the first vessel to the second vessel while maintaining at least substantially the pressure on the transferred portion of the composition; and testing the portion of the composition transferred to the second vessel, which testing is performed while maintaining at least substantially the pressure in the second vessel.
