Surface-modifying agents for wettability modification

A method of treating a subterranean formation with a fluid, comprising:

• forming a fluid comprising a particulate and an organosilane with the chemical formula RnSiX4-n, wherein n is equal to 1, 2, or 3, R is an organic functional group, and X is a halogen, alkoxy, or acetoxy group;
• introducing the fluid into a subterranean formation with exposed surfaces;
• modifying the wettability of a surface of the particulate or the subterranean formation or both;
• and
• degrading at least a portion of the wettability modification of the particulate or surface or both.

A method of producing hydrocarbon from a subterranean formation, comprising:

• providing a wellbore in a subterranean formation;
• forming a fluid comprising a particulate and an organosilane with the chemical formula RnSiX4-n, wherein n is equal to 1, 2, or 3, R is an organic functional group, and X is a halogen, alkoxy, or acetoxy group;
• introducing the fluid into the subterranean formation with exposed surfaces;
• modifying the wettability of a surface of the particulate or the subterranean formation or both;
• producing hydrocarbon from the wellbore in the subterranean formation;
• and
• degrading at least a portion of the wettability modification of the particulate or surface or both.
