A cement composition for use in an oil or gas well, the cement composition comprises: a calcium aluminate cement; water; an organic acid; and a polymeric mixture comprising: (A) water; (B) citric acid; (C) a first polymer, wherein the first polymer: (i) comprises a cellulose backbone and carboxymethyl functional groups; and (ii) has a molecular weight of less than 100,000; and (D) a second polymer, wherein the second polymer: (i) comprises a lignosulfonate; and (ii) has a molecular weight of less than 100,000, wherein a test composition consisting essentially of: the cement; the water; the organic acid; and the polymeric mixture, and in the same proportions as in the cement composition has a thickening time of at least 5 hours at a temperature of 300&#xb0; F. (148.9&#xb0; C.) and a pressure of 10,000 psi (68.9 MPa).

Calcium aluminate cement composition containing a set retarder of an organic acid and a polymeric mixture

A method of servicing a wellbore comprising preparing a composition comprising a calcium aluminate cement, water, and a fluid loss additive wherein the fluid loss additive comprises an acid gelling polymer, placing the composition in the wellbore, and allowing the composition to set. A method of servicing a wellbore comprising placing into a wellbore having a bottom hole static temperature of greater than about 50&#xb0; F. and/or a pH of from about 3 to about 9 a cement slurry comprising a calcium aluminate cement having an aluminum oxide content of greater than about 60 wt. % based on the total weight of the calcium aluminate cement and an acid-gelling polymer wherein the cement slurry has a fluid loss at 10 cc/10 min. to about 600 cc/30 min.
