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.

A method of treating a subterranean formation can include: introducing a first fluid into a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation; introducing a second fluid into the wellbore after introduction of the first fluid, wherein the second fluid comprises: a base fluid comprising water; a viscosifier; and a stabilizer, and wherein the second fluid has a rheological 3-rpm dial reading to 300-rpm dial reading ratio in the range of 1:1 to 1:3; and introducing a third fluid into the wellbore after introduction of the second fluid, wherein the second fluid inhibits or prevents the first fluid from mixing with the third fluid. The second fluid can be a liquid plug that substantially inhibits or prevents the first fluid from mixing with the third fluid. The first fluid can be a drilling mud or spacer fluid. The third fluid can be a spacer fluid or a cement composition.

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 solid scouring material and a biopolymer gum while being essential free of clay. An example method may comprise spacer fluid comprise water and a spacer additive. The spacer additive may comprise a solid scouring material and a biopolymer gum, wherein the solid scouring material comprises crystalline silica in an amount of about 5 wt. % or less, and wherein the spacer fluid is essentially free of clay. The example method may further comprise and introducing the spacer fluid into a wellbore to displace at least a portion of a first fluid in the wellbore.

A method of servicing a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, comprising placing a wellbore servicing fluid (WSF) into the wellbore proximate a permeable zone having an average fracture width of about W microns, wherein the WSF comprises a particulate blend and water, and wherein the particulate blend comprises (a) a type A particulate material characterized by a weight average particle size of equal to or greater than about W/3 microns, and (b) a type B particulate material characterized by a weight average particle size of less than about W/3 microns, wherein a weight ratio of the type A particulate material to the type B particulate material is from about 0.05 to about 5.

An example method may comprise spacer fluid comprise water and a spacer additive. The spacer additive may comprise a solid scouring material and a biopolymer gum, wherein the solid scouring material comprises crystalline silica in an amount of about 5 wt. % or less, and wherein the spacer fluid is essentially free of clay. The example method may further comprise and introducing the spacer fluid into a wellbore to displace at least a portion of a first fluid in the wellbore.

A method of treating a well that includes introducing a well treatment fluid into the well, and a well treatment fluid, are provided. The well treatment fluid comprises an aqueous base fluid, a bridging agent, a viscosifying agent, and a water soluble, biodegradable graft copolymer. In one embodiment, for example, the method is a method of cementing a casing in a well. In this embodiment, the well treatment fluid is a cement spacer fluid.

A treatment fluid can be provided for controlling annular pressure-buildup in a wellbore. The treatment fluid can include a base fluid and a pozzolanic material that can be dispersed within the base fluid. The pozzolanic material can cause the treatment fluid to controllably consolidate in an annulus of the wellbore for controlling annular pressure-buildup in the wellbore.
