    Abstract: Methods and systems for plug-and-abandon applications are included. A method comprises providing an extended-life cement composition comprising calcium aluminate cement, water, and a cement set retarder. The method further comprises mixing the extended-life cement composition with a cement set activator to activate the extended-life cement composition, introducing the activated extended-life cement composition into a wellbore, and allowing the activated extended-life cement composition to set in the wellbore to form a plug in the wellbore. The plug has a permeability of less than 0.1 millidarcy.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to the use of alkali aluminates and alkali silicates with cement kiln dust to form a settable composition for use in subterranean operations. An embodiment provides a method comprising: introducing a settable composition comprising cement kiln dust, an alkali aluminate, an alkali silicate, and an aqueous carrier fluid into a subterranean formation; and allowing the settable composition to set and thereby reduce fluid flow through a portion of the subterranean formation.

    Abstract: Methods of using the set-delayed cement slurries and compositions resulting from the combination of the set-delayed cement slurries are also described. A method may comprise providing a first set-delayed cement slurry comprising a pozzolanic cement and/or a Portland cement, water, and a first cement set retarder; providing a second set-delayed cement slurry comprising calcium-aluminate and a second cement set retarder; mixing the first slurry and the second slurry to form a cement composition; and allowing the cement composition to set.
