Migration of formation solids in a wellbore is restrained by feeding a slurry, comprising water, a viscosifier, and a concentration of cement clinker particles, into the wellbore, and hydrating the clinker particles in the wellbore. The clinker particles are kept in suspension during the hydrating, and upon completion of the hydrating the hydrated clinker particles form a hardened cement consisting of a permeable structure of interconnected hydrated clinker particles. A layer of degradable lost circulation material (LCM) may be employed to separate the slurry with clinker particles from the formation surrounding the wellbore during hydrating of the clinker particles.

Method of restraining migration of formation solids in a wellbore

A method of treating a subterranean formation may include preparing a mortar slurry, injecting the mortar slurry into the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to create a fracture in the subterranean formation, and allowing the mortar slurry to set, forming a mortar in the fracture. The mortar slurry may be designed to form a pervious mortar, to crack under fracture closure pressure, or both.

Method of treating a subterranean formation with a mortar slurry designed to form a permearle mortar

A method of treating a subterranean formation via well bore may include introducing a plurality of particles into the subterranean formation via the well bore, each particle having a substrate and a layer of cement on the substrate. The cement may be in a state of suspended hydration and the method may include introducing moisture to the subterranean formation via the well bore. The method may also include allowing the particles and the moisture to contact one another. Contact between the particles and the moisture may cause the cement to move from a state of suspended hydration to a state of secondary hydration.

A sulphur cement product comprising sulphur, filler, sand having a surface area of greater than 0.5 m/g, and an organosilane having at least one amino functional group is disclosed. Further, a process for the preparation of such cement sulphur product is disclosed.

Sulphur cement products

Method of reducing the odor of sulphur-bound products, in particular modified sulphur or sulphur concrete, comprising contacting the sulphur-bound products with a bleaching agent, like e.g. sodium hydrochloride or hydrogen peroxide. The resulting sulphur-bound products emit reduced levels of sulphur-containing gases such as HS and SOand have a reduced odor.

Method of reducing the odour of sulphur-bound products

A process for the preparation of a sulphur cement product is disclosed. Sulphur is mixed with a coupling agent and with a particulate inorganic material at a temperature at which sulphur is molten to obtain a molten sulphur cement product, which is solidified. The coupling agent is supplied as a solid composition comprising the coupling agent and at least 10 wt %, based upon the weight of the solid composition, of carrier material selected from one or more of wax, inorganic filler and polymer. The coupling agent is chosen from the group of organosilanes and organotitanates.
