    Abstract: Method including the steps of providing a treatment fluid that comprises a base fluid and polymeric particulates and introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation having a temperature above about 65° C. The polymeric particulates comprise a degradable polymer and a plasticizer and exhibit a Tg above about −15° C. When the polymeric particulates are placed into a subterranean formation having a temperature above about 65° C. they transform from rigid form to malleable form and are able to provide fluid loss, seal the rock surfaces for fluid diversion, or plug an area along the annulus of a well bore. The malleable particulates then degrade over time in the subterranean formation.
