The current invention relates to the use of chitin nanocrystals and chitin nanocrystal derivatives. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of chitin nanocrystals and chitin nanocrystals used in oil and gas operations. The chitin nanocrystals and chitin nanocrystals derivatives can be used as additives to cement and wellbore fluids and can be used to inhibit corrosion in pipelines, on downhole tools and on other oil and gas related equipment.

A method of treating a subterranean formation comprising: introducing a first cement composition into the subterranean formation, wherein the first cement composition comprises: (A) a first aluminate cement; and (B) a base fluid; simultaneously introducing a second cement composition into the subterranean formation, wherein the second cement composition comprises: (A) a second cement consisting of cement or a pozzolan; and (B) a base fluid, wherein at least a portion of the first and second cement compositions mix together after introduction into the subterranean formation to form a mixed cement composition, and wherein at least some of the first and second cement compositions or at least some of the mixed cement composition enters into a highly-permeable area located within the subterranean formation; and allowing the mixed cement composition to set. The base fluid can be an aqueous liquid or a hydrocarbon liquid.

A method of making a cement composite can include contacting an aqueous solution comprising calcium ions with a carbon dioxide source producing a carbonated aqueous solution. Fine particles can be submerged in the carbonated aqueous solution to produce microaggregate particles comprising the fine particles coated with calcium carbonate. The microaggregate particles can be combined with cement particles to produce the cement composite. The cement composite can be used in cementing applications for hydrocarbon wells including for casing liners and well plugs.
