Methods of treating subterranean formations using treatment fluids comprising chlorinated carbohydrates

Subterranean treatment operations, and more particularly, methods of treating subterranean formations using treatment fluid compositions including chlorinated carbohydrates, are provided. An example of a method is a method of treating a subterranean formation, including: providing a treatment fluid including water, a hydraulic cement, and a chlorinated carbohydrate; placing the treatment fluid in a subterranean formation; and permitting the treatment fluid to treat the formation. An example of a method is a method that includes providing a cement composition that includes water, a hydraulic cement, and an additive that includes a chlorinated carbohydrate and a tartaric acid; placing the cement composition in a subterranean formation; and permitting the cement composition to set therein.
