Abstract

A method for mitigating loss circulation zones in a wellbore is provided. The method includes synthesizing a carbamate from an amine-curing agent, and the carbamate is mixed with an epoxy resin from the loss control composition. The loss control composition is pumped into a wellbore with a loss circulation zone, wherein the loss control composition flows into the loss circulation zone. The carbamate of the loss control composition is allowed to decompose at wellbore temperatures, wherein the carbamate releases COgas and the amine-curing agent. The COgas foams the epoxy resin, expanding the epoxy resin to fill voids in the loss circulation zone, and the amine-curing agent cures the foamed epoxy resin, forming a loss control material that seals the loss circulation zone.
