Abstract
This disclosure methods of sealing water-bearing formations using a sealant composition, including volcanic ash, cement, an epoxy resin, and a crosslinker.
Claims17
A method of sealing a water-bearing formation, comprising:
- applying a sealant composition to the water-bearing formation, thereby sealing the water-bearing formation, the sealant composition comprising:
- about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % of volcanic ash;
- about 1 wt % to 10 wt % of cement;
- about 85 wt % to 95 wt % of epoxy resin comprising bisphenol-A-epichlorohydrin and an oxirane mono [(C12-14)-alkyloxy)methyl] derivative;
- and
- about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % of crosslinker comprising diethylenetriamine (DETA);
- wherein the sealant composition does not comprise an alkaline activator.

- about 1 wt % to 10 wt % of cement;
- about 85 wt % to 95 wt % of epoxy resin consisting essentially of bisphenol-A-epichlorohydrin and derivatives of oxirane mono [(C12-14)-alkyloxy)methyl];
- and
- about 1 wt % to about 5 wt % of crosslinker consisting essentially of diethylenetriamine (DETA).
