Abstract

Methods for performing cementing operations in a wellbore, designing wells and constructing wells are illustrated. The methods include applying pressure to the interior of casing in the wellbore during curing of a cement composition in the annulus. Wells constructed with such an applied pressure on casing have cement sheaths that will subsequently withstand stress.
