ABSTRACT:
A method of cementing at least two casing strings in a well bore, the method having steps as follows: filling the well bore and the inner diameters of the at least two casing strings with a cement composition, wherein at least a portion of the cement composition is a compressible cement composition; pumping the cement composition from the inner diameters of the at least two casing strings into the annulus, wherein the compressible portion of the cement composition is compressed by the pumping; and permitting the cement composition to set within the annulus.
