Abstract:
A lost circulation material (LCM) is provided having an alkaline nanosilica dispersion, a polyester activator, and a formaldehyde resin. The alkaline nanosilica dispersion and the polyester activator may form a gelled solid after interaction over a contact period, such that the gelled solid incorporates the formaldehyde resin. Methods of lost circulation control using the LCM are also provided.
