A method of stimulating a subterranean formation using a foamed cement composition. When hardened, the cement composition has a permeability of at least about 0.3 darcies. The inventive formation stimulation method comprises the steps of: (a) injecting the foamed cement composition into the formation at a pressure sufficient to fracture the formation and (b) allowing the cement composition to harden in the formation.

Fracturing with foamed cement

A method of cementing a well casing or liner in a well bore wherein an annulus exists around the exterior of the casing or liner. The method comprises the step of placing a foamed cement slurry composition in the annulus. A method of treating a well bore comprising the steps of: (a) filling an uncased portion of the well bore with a foamed cement slurry composition; (b) allowing the cement composition to harden; and (c) drilling a hole through the hardened cement composition along at least a portion of the uncased portion of the well bore.
