In the context of formation, cement is a formation binding agent (calcite, clay, silica overgrowth, heavy oil, etc.) that hold the formation grains together.
In the context of completions, cement is typically the Portland, silicate, and/or pozzolan, etc., mixtures used to form a stone-like permanent seal between the pipe and the formation.
