Of the many compositions and methods provided herein, an embodiment of a
method comprises introducing a foamed cement composition into a
subterranean formation, wherein the foamed cement composition comprises:
a cementitious component; a foaming and stabilizing surfactant; an
oil-swellable particle; gas; and water; and allowing the settable
composition to set in the subterranean formation. Another embodiment of a
method comprises introducing a foamed cement composition into an annulus
between a pipe string and a subterranean formation, wherein the foamed
cement composition comprises comprising: a cementitious component; a
foaming and stabilizing surfactant; an oil-swellable particle; gas; and
water; and allowing the settable composition to set in the annulus. An
embodiment of a foamed cement composition comprises a cementitious
component, a foaming and stabilizing surfactant, a swellable particle,
gas, and water.
