Of the many methods and compositions provided herein, one method comprises
providing a cement composition that comprises a cementitious component
and an additive comprising: a polymer, a phosphorus component, a
polyvalent metal ion, an oil-based liquid, and a surfactant; introducing
the cement composition into at least a portion of a subterranean
formation; and allowing the cement composition to at least partially set
therein. Another method provided herein comprises providing a cement
composition that comprises a cementitious component and an additive
comprising a polymer, a phosphorus component, a polyvalent metal ion, an
oil-based liquid, and a surfactant; introducing the cement composition
into a void located in a pipe string; and allowing the cement composition
to at least partially set therein. A cement composition provided herein
comprises a cementitious component and an additive comprising a polymer;
a phosphorus component; a polyvalent metal ion; and an oil-based liquid;
and a surfactant.
