Methods and compositions for treating subterranean formations to mitigate lost circulation are provided. The methods of the present disclosure include forming a treatment fluid including one or more geopolymer lost circulation materials; introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation that includes at least one loss zone; activating the geopolymer lost circulation materials to form a geopolymer that imparts a thixotropic property to the treatment fluid; and allowing the treatment fluid exhibiting the thixotropic property to at least partially reduce a rate of loss associated with the loss zone.

Geopolymer formulations for mitigating losses

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.

Well bore spacer and efficiency fluids comprising geopolymers

Methods and compositions for using geopolymers to create storable cementitious slurries used for oil and gas well cementing are provided. The methods of the present disclosure include providing a set-delayed geopolymer cement composition including a geopolymer; activating the set-delayed geopolymer cement composition; introducing the set-delayed geopolymer cement composition into at least a portion of a subterranean formation; and allowing the set-delayed geopolymer cement composition to set in the subterranean formation.
