Treatment fluids may be used in hydrocarbon extraction operations. Example methods of use of treatment fluids including nanoparticles may include: introducing a treatment fluid into a subterranean formation including a clay, the treatment fluid including a plurality of metal oxide nanoparticles dispersed in an aqueous fluid; and interacting the metal oxide nanoparticles with the clay in the subterranean formation to at least partially inhibit entry of the clay into the treatment fluid.
