Abstract
A method of modifying an alteration zone of a formation near a wellbore using a non-Newtonian polymeric composition created from a reaction of a non-Newtonian combination comprises the steps of mixing an anhydrous tetraborate and a fluid to create a crosslinker solution, mixing a crosslinkable polyvinyl alcohol and water to create a polymer solution, where the crosslinker solution and the polymer solution form the non-Newtonian combination, pumping the non-Newtonian combination to a reaction zone in the wellbore, where pumping the non-Newtonian combination is configured to induce mixing of the polymer solution and the crosslinker solution, allowing the non-Newtonian combination to react to form the non-Newtonian polymeric composition, allowing the non-Newtonian polymeric composition to migrate to the alteration zone, where the non-Newtonian polymeric composition migrates due to gravity, and allowing the non-Newtonian polymeric composition to interact with the alteration zone to modify the alteration zone.
