Abstract
Compositions and methods for hydrocarbon exploration and production operations, such as subterranean cementing operations that allow for greater control over the setting of fluids or slurries used during such operations including placing a sealant composition having a polymerizable additive into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, and subjecting the sealant composition to a radiation dose of from about 1 to about 1000 grays, so as to form a seal therein.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- placing a sealant composition comprising a polymerizable additive into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation;
- and
- subjecting the sealant composition to a radiation dose of from about 1 gray to about 1000 grays, so as to form a seal therein.
A method comprising:
- preparing a cement composition comprising:
- hydraulic cement, a polymerizable additive, and sufficient water to form a slurry;
- placing the cement composition into the wellbore;
- and
- subjecting the cement composition to a radiation dose of from about 1 gray to about 1000 grays to activate setting of the cement composition.
