Wellbore servicing compositions and methods of making and using same

Abstract

A method of servicing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising preparing a wellbore servicing fluid comprising an alkoxylated humus material and an aqueous base fluid, wherein the alkoxylated humus material comprises an ethoxylated humus material and/or a C3+ alkoxylated humus material, and placing the wellbore servicing fluid in the wellbore and/or subterranean formation to modify the permeability of at least a portion of the wellbore and/or subterranean formation. A method of drilling a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising preparing a drilling fluid comprising an alkoxylated humus material and an aqueous base fluid, wherein the alkoxylated humus material comprises an ethoxylated humus material and/or a C3+ alkoxylated humus material, and placing the drilling fluid in the wellbore and/or subterranean formation.
