The present invention provides a cement composition and a process for using the cement composition to inhibit gas migration from a subterranean zone into the cement. The process comprises displacing a gelling additive, preferably comprised within a cement composition, into a well bore such that the gelling additive passes into the subterranean zone, and allowing the gelling additive to form a crosslinked gel in the subterranean zone to inhibit gas migration from the subterranean zone. The crosslinked gel acts as a barrier to gas in the subterranean zone and thereby inhibits the gas from passing into the cement and forming flow channels therein before the cement can set.
