Abstract: An adaptive cementitious composite composition, comprising: a coarse particulate material such as sand or proppant; a series of other particulate or fibrous materials; and a carrier fluid; the sand and other particulate materials being present as a series of coarse, medium and fine particle sizes in ratios selected to provide an optimized packing volume fraction; wherein the sand or proppant is coated with a resin and at least one of the other particulate or fibrous materials is a material that can be modified when placed at a downhole location.

Abstract: The invention provides geopolymeric compositions intended for use in carbon dioxide injection or production wells or storage reservoirs and preferably in a supercritical carbon dioxide conditions. The geopolymeric composition is formed from a suspension comprising an aluminosilicate source, a metal silicate, an alkali activator, a retarder and/or an accelerator and a carrier fluid wherein the oxide molar ratio M2O/SiO2 is greater than 0.20 with M an alkali metal.

Abstract: The invention provides geopolymeric compositions, which have controllable thickening and setting times for a wide range of temperatures and a large range of geopolymer slurry densities. The geopolymer slurry compositions have good mixability and pumpability, while the set materials develop good compressive strength and permeability. The invention discloses a method for preparing geopolymer for oilfield cementing applications. The geopolymeric compositions according to the invention comprises a suspension comprising an aluminosilicate source, a metal silicate, an alkali activator, lightweight or heavyweight fillers and a carrier fluid wherein the suspension of said geopolymeric composition is pumped in a well and allowed to set.
