Abstract

A method for suspending lightweight beads in a fluid includes combining lightweight beads, a fluid, and a surfactant to form a liquid additive. The liquid additive may be used to reduce the density of a wellbore fluid. The liquid additive or wellbore fluid can be combined with a cementitious material to form a lightweight cement composition.
