Abstract

The present invention provides cementing compositions for an oil well or the like, comprising an hydraulic binder, dense particles with a density higher than the density of the hydraulic binder, and reinforcing particles with a density of less than 1.5 g/cm3, preferably less than 1.2 g/cm3, constituted by a flexible material or rubber, of low compressibility and with an average grain size of less than 600 &mgr;m. The compositions of the invention are of particular advantage when preventing zones which are subjected to extreme stresses, such as perforation zones and the junctions of a multi-branch lateral well. They are also highly suitable for producing plugs.
