    Abstract: An epoxy resin system composition and a loss circulation material including the reaction product of the epoxy resin system are provided. The epoxy resin system includes a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) epoxy resin with at least one reactive group, a curing agent, and a CO2 gas-generating compound. The CO2 gas-generating compound generates CO2 during the reaction such that a volume of the lost circulation material is greater than a volume of the epoxy resin system. A method of treating a defect in a wellbore includes introducing the epoxy resin system into the wellbore such that epoxy resin system is proximate to a face of the defect, and maintaining the epoxy resin system at the face of the defect such that the epoxy resin system cures and a lost circulation material forms and fluidly seals the defect in the wellbore.

    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed relate to a composition and a method of treating a formation. The method includes introducing a loss circulation material system through a wellbore into a formation, where the loss circulation material system is comprised of an esterified derivative of an epoxidized organic material and a curing agent. The esterified derivative of an epoxidized organic material has a formula of: where R′ comprises H, a substituted or an unsubstituted (C1-C12) hydrocarbyl group; and where R″ comprises a substituted or an unsubstituted (C2-C30) hydrocarbyl group, including where at least one oxygen atom is attached to two different adjacent carbon atoms of the (C2-C30) hydrocarbyl group. The method also includes maintaining wellbore conditions such that the loss circulation material system cures into a loss circulation material in the formation. The cured loss circulation material may withstand a pressure differential up to about 20,000 psid.

    Abstract: Drilling fluid compositions and methods for using drilling fluid compositions are provided with enhanced lubricating properties that include an aqueous-based fluid, one or more drilling fluid additives, and a lubricating additive. The lubricating additive may be an epoxidized α-olefin and the drilling fluid may include the lubricating additive in an amount ranging from about 1 ppb to about 20 ppb. Methods for using the drilling fluid compositions may further include mixing an aqueous base fluid with one or more drilling fluid additives and a lubricating additive, wherein the lubricating additive includes epoxidized α-olefin and the drilling fluid may include the lubricating additive in an amount ranging from about 0.5 ppb to about 20 ppb, and introducing the drilling fluid to a subterranean formation.
