Abstract: A nanoparticle-resin coated frac sand composition is provided. The nanoparticle-resin coated frac sand composition includes a silica sand, an epoxy resin, methanol, a hardener, and nanoparticles. The nanoparticles may be silica nanoparticles, alumina nanoparticles, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, or titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. The methanol is used as a diluent for the epoxy resin. The nanoparticle-resin coated frac sand composition may be used as a proppant in a hydraulic fracturing operation, such by injecting a hydraulic fracturing fluid having the composition into a subterranean formation. Methods of manufacturing the composition and hydraulic fracturing of a subterranean formation are also provided.

Abstract: A subterranean formation sealant includes a mixture of an aqueous colloidal dispersion including silica nanoparticles and a C6-C12 fatty acid. Heating the sealant above 70° C. initiates gelation of the sealant. Sealing an opening in a water or gas producing zone in a subterranean formation includes providing a sealant including a mixture of a colloidal dispersion including silica nanoparticles and a C6-C12 fatty acid to the water or gas producing zone, initiating gelation of the sealant in situ, and solidifying the sealant in the water or gas producing zone to yield a set gel, thereby sealing the opening in the water or gas producing zone.

Abstract: A chemical gel system having a polymer and a graphene oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker for treating thief zones in carbonate formations. The polymer and graphene oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker may form a crosslinked polymer gel to reduce or prevent water production via thief zones during hydrocarbon production. The graphene oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker includes a first side having negatively charged functional groups and a second side having amines. The negatively charged functional groups may include carboxyl groups, negatively charged oxygen groups, and hydroxyl groups. Methods of reducing water production in a thief zone using the graphene oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker and methods of manufacturing the graphene oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker are also provided.

Abstract: A composition useful for subterranean water or gas shut off applications includes organosilane-modified colloidal silica and an accelerator. The accelerator includes one or more organic or inorganic salts. A method of using a composition, including an organosilane-modified colloidal silica and an accelerator, includes forming a fluid system that is flowed to a formation in a subterranean zone, such as through a wellbore, where the composition forms a gel to plug the formation and shut off water flow into the wellbore.
