Abstract

Fluid compositions containing a silica-particle suspension with no intrinsic cementitious properties may be pumped into a wellbore. Upon making downhole contact with previously placed well cements from primary-cementing or previous remedial-cementing operations, the silica suspension reacts to form a gel that seals voids, cracks or fissures in the cement sheath. Portland cement is the preferred cement with which the silica-particle suspensions interact downhole.
