  • Foamed spacer fluids containing cement kiln dust and methods of use
    Patent number: 8505629
    Abstract: Disclosed are spacer fluids comprising cement kiln dust (“CKD”) and methods of use in subterranean formations. An embodiment discloses a method comprising: providing a foamed spacer fluid comprising CKD, a foaming agent, a gas, and water; and introducing the foamed spacer fluid into a well bore to displace at least a portion of a first fluid present in the well bore. Another embodiment discloses a method comprising: providing a foamed spacer fluid comprising a partially calcined kiln feed removed from a gas stream, a foaming agent, a gas, and water, wherein the partially calcined kiln feed comprises SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, SO3, Na2O, and K2O; and introducing the foamed spacer fluid into a well bore to displace at least a portion of a first fluid present in the well bore.
