    Abstract: A method of treating a lost circulation zone may include positioning a cured lost circulation material composition in the lost circulation zone of a subterranean natural resource well to produce a barrier operable to mitigate wellbore fluids from passing into the lost circulation zone. The cured lost circulation material composition may be a foam comprising a gas phase and a liquid phase. The cured lost circulation material composition may include a cured bisphenol epoxy resin, one or more surfactants positioned at the interface of the liquid phase and the gas phase of the foam and carbon dioxide in the gas phase of the foam. The cured bisphenol epoxy resin may be a reaction product of a bisphenol epoxy resin system including uncured bisphenol epoxy resin, one or more curing agents, and optionally, a diluent. The carbon dioxide may be a reaction product of one or more carbon dioxide gas-generating compounds.

    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a spacer fluid includes an aqueous fluid, a weighting agent, and a clay stabilizer consisting of one or more polyethylene polyamines having a first structure H2NCH2CH2(NHCH2CH2)xNH2, where x is an integer greater than or equal to 3. The amount of the clay stabilizer may be from 0.1 wt. % to 10 wt. % relative to the total weight of the spacer fluid. The average molecular weight of the polyethylene polyamines in the spacer fluid having the first structure may be from 200 g/mol to 400 g/mol. All of the polyethylene polyamines in the spacer fluid having the first structure may be encompassed in the clay stabilizer. Methods for cementing a casing in a wellbore using the spacer fluid are also disclosed.

    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a cement slurry includes cement particles, an aqueous fluid in an amount of from 10 wt. % to 70 wt. % relative to the total weight of the cement particles, and a clay stabilizer consisting of one or more polyethylene polyamines having a first structure H2NCH2CH2(NHCH2CH2)xNH2, where x is an integer greater than or equal to 3. The amount of the clay stabilizer may be from 1 wt. % to 10 wt. % relative to the total weight of the cement particles. The average molecular weight of the polyethylene polyamines in the cement slurry having the first chemical structure may be from 200 g/mol to 400 g/mol. All of the polyethylene polyamines in the cement slurry having the first chemical structure may be encompassed in the clay stabilizer. Methods for cementing a casing in a wellbore using the cement slurry are also disclosed.
