The present disclosure relates to spacer fluids for use in subterranean operations and, more particularly, in certain embodiments, to spacer fluids that include a spacer additive comprising a biopolymer polysaccharide gum, a modified cellulose, and a solid scouring material while being essentially free of clay and crystalline silica.

Methods of determining the integrity of a well are provided. The methods include mixing conductive materials into a fluid, introducing the fluid into the well, and allowing the conductive materials to coat a surface of a subsurface formation, thereby forming an electrically conductive data conduit coating. The methods further include transmitting data through the electrically conductive data conduit coating to determine the integrity of the well.

A wellbore servicing fluid comprising (a) a cationic formation stabilizer having (i) a molecular weight in a range of from equal to or greater than 0.05 to equal to or less than 2.0 kiloDaltons (kDa), or (ii) cationic charge functional groups of greater than 2 to equal to or less than 5 cationic charges per molecule, or (iii) both (i) and (ii), (b) an anionic friction reducer, and (c) an aqueous fluid.

Methods and compositions including treatment fluids that include geopolymers for use in subterranean formations are provided. The methods of the present disclosure include introducing a treatment fluid including a geopolymer material into a wellbore penetrating at least a portion of a subterranean formation, wherein the geopolymer material includes an aluminosilicate source, a metal silicate source, an activator, and water; contacting a first fluid present in the wellbore with the treatment fluid; and allowing the treatment fluid to displace at least a portion of the first fluid from at least a portion of the wellbore.

The present disclosure provides polymeric systems that exhibit enhanced viscosity and proppant transport properties while providing enhanced particle dispersion capabilities.

A method for consolidating sand in a subsurface formation includes introducing a consolidation composition into the subsurface formation. The consolidation composition includes asphaltene and maltene dissolved in a solvent. After introducing the consolidation composition, the method further includes introducing an aqueous composition to the subsurface formation in order to precipitate the asphaltene in the subsurface formation. The precipitated asphaltene consolidates sand within the subsurface formation and the maltene forms channels throughout the subsurface formation, thereby increasing the permeability of the subsurface formation.
