Methods for treating a formation may include introducing components of a treatment solution into a wellbore such that the treatment solution contacts the formation to be treated, where the treatment solution may include urea, urease, a calcium ion source, one or more polysaccharides, a casein protein, a protease, an ionic compound, and a sugar, where the formation may have an amount of sand production before treatment and may be in fluid contact with the wellbore, and where an amount of sand production after treatment may be less than the amount of sand production before treatment. Consolidated sand structure compositions may include previously unconsolidated sand interlinked by inter-particle cementitious bonds comprising deposited calcium carbonate crystals, where the consolidated sand has a structural strength and the consolidated sand structure is porous to permit fluid flow through the composition.

Disclosed are a high-temperature-resistant tertiary amine-grafted silica nano-plugging agent and water-based drilling fluids, relating to oil-gas field drilling. The nano-plugging agent is prepared from a hydrazine compound, a diallyl compound, an enamine compound, silica particle, and an amino-containing silane coupling agent by stepwise reaction. The nano-plugging agent has a grain size of 58-280 nm.

Methods and compositions for servicing a wellbore and, in certain embodiments, to the use of compositions in a wellbore to mitigate lost circulation. In some embodiments, the methods include providing a treatment fluid that includes an aqueous base fluid, a lost circulation material, and a rheology modifier that includes a nanocellulose material; introducing the treatment fluid into a wellbore penetrating at least a portion of a subterranean formation including a loss zone; and allowing the treatment fluid to rapidly defluidize in the loss zone.

A treatment fluid for performing one or more pre-cementing operations in a wellbore can include a base fluid, a viscosifier, and a crushed glass material. The viscosifier can be dispersed in the base fluid. The crushed glass material can be dispersed in the base fluid for performing one or more cementing operations with respect to the wellbore.

A wellbore fluid may include an oleaginous fluid forming a continuous phase; a non-oleaginous fluid forming a discontinuous phase; at least one emulsifier stabilizing an emulsion of the non-oleaginous continuous phase within the oleaginous continuous phase; and at least one viscosifier dispersed into the oleaginous continuous phase in a concentration of at least 4 ppb; wherein upon subjecting the wellbore fluid to shear rate of at least 10,000 s-1, the emulsion is disrupted and the non-oleaginous fluid contacts the at least one viscosifier, thereby solidifying the wellbore fluid.

Insulating fluids for use in drilling, production, and other applications are provided, the insulating fluids containing a porous medium (such as a sponge or foam) to limit the mobility of the liquid phase of the insulating fluid. The porous medium in the insulating fluid provides a mechanical means for reducing convective heat transfer, as the small pore spaces within the porous media create tortuous paths for the liquid moving therethrough. Methods include introducing the insulating fluid into an annulus of a drilling, riser, production, packer, or pipeline assembly to reduce heat transfer therethrough.
