First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of cementing comprising:
- providing a set-delayed cement composition comprising water, pumice, hydrated lime, a primary set retarder, and a secondary set retarder;
activating the set-delayed cement composition to produce an activated cement composition;
introducing the activated cement composition into a subterranean formation; and
allowing the activated cement composition to set in the subterranean formation.
