Abstract
Compositions including a curable resin and organophilically-modified clay for subterranean oil well applications and methods of using the same. A method of treating a subterranean formation including placing in a subterranean formation a curable composition that includes at least one of a curable organic resin and a thermosetting polymer. The curable composition also includes an organophilically-modified clay.
Claims20
A method of treating a subterranean formation, the method comprising:
- placing a curable composition in a subterranean formation, wherein the curable composition comprises:
- at least one of a curable organic resin and a thermosetting polymer;
- and
- an organophilically-modified clay comprising an organophilic-modification compound or an ion thereof,
- wherein the organophilic-modification compound is at least one of a substituted or unsubstituted (C10-C50) fatty acid or a salt thereof, a tri- or tetra-(C1-C50) hydrocarbylammonium salt, a tri- or tetra-(C1-C50) hydrocarbylphosphonium salt, or combinations thereof, and
- wherein each tri- or tetra-(C1-C50) hydrocarbylammonium salt, and tri- or tetra-(C1-C50) hydrocarbylphosphonium salt is independently selected, is substituted or unsubstituted, and is interrupted by 0, 1, 2, or 3 atoms chosen from at least one of —O—, —S—, substituted or unsubstituted —NH—, or combinations thereof.
