Abstract
A method of servicing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising preparing a composition comprising a base fluid, a thixotropic viscosifier, a gellable composition and a bridging material, applying a shear force to the composition such that the composition viscosity decreases, introducing the composition into a lost circulation zone in the subterranean formation, wherein the lost circulation zone comprises cavities greater than about 200 microns in diameter, decreasing the shear force applied to the composition, and allowing the composition to set in the lost circulation zone. A method of servicing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising placing a first stream comprising a dilute solution of a metal acrylate into a lost circulation zone in the subterranean formation, placing a second stream comprising an activator into the lost circulation zone, and forming a lost circulation material upon contacting of the metal acrylate and the activator, wherein the lost circulation material forms in from about 0 to about 60 minutes.
