A system and method including modeling wellbore conditions and plug properties to predetermine the dissolution time of a plug under wellbore conditions for use in a well operation. The system and method provide an estimate of how long a dissolvable plug will remain viable based on its composition and the conditions in the wellbore. Once a plug has been selected or once wellbore conditions have been determined, the plug and/or conditions can be tested in the lab to confirm suitability prior to use downhole.

Methods and compositions for using geopolymers to create storable cementitious slurries used for oil and gas well cementing are provided. The methods of the present disclosure include providing a set-delayed geopolymer cement composition including a geopolymer; activating the set-delayed geopolymer cement composition; introducing the set-delayed geopolymer cement composition into at least a portion of a subterranean formation; and allowing the set-delayed geopolymer cement composition to set in the subterranean formation.
