Abstract

See full text

A drilling fluid is diluted and a cementitious component added thereto. In a more specific embodiment the dilution is carried out by introducing liquid such as water to a flowing stream of the drilling fluid and thereafter a cementitious component is mixed therewith. Thus, the drilling fluid can be used in a conventional manner to drill a well and thereafter diluted and a cementitious component added to produce a cement for cementing operations such as setting a casing in the well and/or can be used for remedial cementing. In another embodiment of the invention, the drilling fluid itself contains a small amount of cementitious component and additional cementitious component is added after the dilution.
