Abstract: Lost circulation material (LCM) compositions for sealing lost circulation zones in wellbores may include an epoxy resin, a curing agent, an amide accelerator, and calcium carbonate having an average particle size of from 1,000 microns to 10,000 micron. The epoxy resin includes at least one of 2,3-epoxypropyl-o-tolyl ether, C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether, 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether, butyl glycidyl ether, or cyclohexanedimethanol diglycidyl ether. The epoxy resin can also include bisphenol-A-epichlorohydrin epoxy resin. Methods of treating a lost circulation zone of a wellbore include injecting the LCM compositions into the lost circulation zone and curing the LCM compositions, where the LCM compositions include an epoxy resin, a curing agent, an amide accelerator, and calcium carbonate having an average particle size of from 1,000 microns to 10,000 microns.

Abstract: A method of synthesizing sodium formate. The method includes reacting acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and NaOH to form a raw reaction solution which includes pentaerythritol and sodium formate. The method also includes passing the raw reaction solution to an evaporator to reduce the water content of the raw reaction solution and remove any unreacted formaldehyde from the raw reaction solution to form a concentrated reaction solution and cooling the concentrated reaction solution to form pentaerythritol crystals in suspension while retaining sodium formate in solution. Further, the method includes filtering the cooled concentrated reaction solution to remove the pentaerythritol crystals and create a mother liquor comprising the sodium formate in solution and separating the sodium formate from the mother liquor.

Abstract: Compositions may include a calcium lignosulfonate salt having a chemical structure (I), wherein a total number of syringyl groups is 2 to 10. The compositions may further include an alcohol, an aldehyde, and water. Cement slurries may include a lignosulfonate-based cement dispersant including a calcium lignosulfonate salt having a chemical structure (I), an alcohol, an aldehyde, and water, wherein a total number of syringyl groups in the chemical structure (I) is 2 to 10. The cement slurries may further include a cement and water. Methods may include introducing a cement slurry into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, wherein the cement slurry comprises a lignosulfonate-based cement dispersant, a cement, and water, and allowing the cement slurry to set to a concrete in a downhole zone of interest.
