ABSTRACT:
Subterranean fluids, and more particularly, subterranean fluids comprising a hydraulic cement in an invert emulsion, and methods of using such fluids in subterranean operations, are provided. An example of these methods is a method of cementing a well bore. Another example of these methods is a method of reducing the cost to cement a well bore in a subterranean formation.
