Abstract

Oil-based settable spotting fluid compositions for cementing in wells and subterranean formations are provided. The oil-based settable spotting fluid compositions basically comprise an oil external emulsion comprising oil, water and an emulsifying surfactant, a hydraulically settable component and a de-emulsifying surfactant for de-emulsifying the oil-external emulsion when the emulsion is cured.
