Abstract: A method of servicing a wellbore in contact with a subterranean formation comprising placing in the wellbore a composition comprising a metal oxide, a soluble salt, a surfactant and an oleaginous fluid, and allowing the composition to set. A method of cementing a wellbore comprising placing a first composition comprising magnesium oxide, a chloride or phosphate salt, an organophilic surfactant and an oleaginous fluid into a wellbore, allowing the composition to set, placing a second cementitious composition into the wellbore, and allowing the second cementitious composition to set. A method of servicing a wellbore comprising placing in the wellbore a composition comprising magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, an organophilic surfactant, water and an oleaginous fluid wherein the organophilic surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.

Abstract: A method of servicing a wellbore comprising preparing a cement slurry by premixing at least one latex, at least one stabilizer, and optionally water to form a homogeneous solution, further mixing the homogeneous solution with an ionic compound, cement, and optionally additional water to form the slurry, and placing the slurry in the wellbore. A method of stabilizing latex in cement slurry containing saltwater, comprising premixing the latex with a stabilizer until a homogenous solution forms prior to contacting the latex with the saltwater. A cement slurry comprising a latex, a stabilizer, a cement, an ionic compound, and water wherein the latex and stabilizer are contacted prior to contact of the latex with the ionic compound.
