Abstract
Methods of coating solid particulates used in a wellbore fluid are described. The methods include providing a first solution that includes at least one inorganic sol precursor and at least one solvent, adding an aqueous solution to the first solution to form an inorganic sol that develops into an inorganic sol-gel, applying the inorganic sol-gel to the solid particulates, drying the solid particulates to form an inorganic sol-gel coating on the solid particulates, and mixing the coated solid particulates with a wellbore fluid.
