Natural fiber-containing cement compositions for cementing wellbores in high stress and high temperature environments. The cement compositions may contain natural mineral fiber materials such as wollastonite in an amount of greater than about 10% and in an amount selected to be effective to achieve ratios of flexural strength to compressive strength of cured cement that are greater than about 0.35 at downhole temperatures of greater than about 180&deg; F.

High temperature flexible cementing compositions and methods for using same

A subterranean formation is treated by injecting a blend of fracture proppant material and deformable particulate material into the formation. The deformable particulate material may combine with the fracture proppant material to increase fracture conductivity, reduce fines generation, and/or reduce proppant flowback. The fracture proppant material may be a material such as sand, and the deformable particulate material may be a material such as polystyrene divinylbenzene beads.

Formation treatment method using deformable particles

Storable cement slurries utilize a carrageenan suspending agent to provide stable slurries under conditions of high pH and calcium ion content. These cement slurries may be utilized for, among other things, cementing applications involving oil and gas wells.

Storable liquid systems for use in cementing oil and gas wells

A drilling fluid additive for controlling solids comprising a carrageenan material, such as iota or kappa carrageenan. The drilling fluid additive may be used with other additives, such as a polyacrylate dispersant. Among other things, the drilling fluid additive may be used to drill deviated or horizontal wells, or wells having large diameter boreholes.
