Abstract
A method for zonal isolation in a subterranean formation includes identifying a zone of interest within the subterranean formation, determining a static temperature of the zone of interest, determining a time duration for gelation of a treatment fluid, determining a concentration of an accelerator in the treatment fluid, determining a volume of the treatment fluid to be delivered to the zone of interest, determining a correlation between cooling of a wellbore near the zone of interest and a delivery rate of the treatment fluid, determining a target wellbore temperature, delivering a cooling stage until the target wellbore temperature is reached, and delivering a treatment stage. Delivering the cooling stage and the treatment stage results in forming, within the zone of interest, a gel that is impermeable to fluid flow.
