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.

Claim (Index 15):
A non-Newtonian combination comprising:\n anhydrous sodium tetraborate operable to crosslink polyvinyl alcohol, the anhydrous sodium tetraborate being present in a concentration between 0.1% and 1.5% by volume of the non-Newtonian combination; polyvinyl alcohol operable to form a crosslinked polymer, the polyvinyl alcohol being present in a concentration between 0.4% and 6% by volume; polyvinyl acetate, wherein a blend ratio of polyvinyl acetate to polyvinyl alcohol in the non-Newtonian combination is 45 to 1; and a carbohydrate operable to increase the pour-ability of the non-Newtonian combination, wherein the carbohydrate comprises a sugar, the sugar is selected from the group consisting of sucrose, lactose, maltose, and combinations of the same, wherein the sugar is present in the polymer solution in the range between 20.5 g and 21.5 g per 100 mL of polymer solution; wherein a ratio of anhydrous sodium tetraborate to polyvinyl alcohol is 1:3 and 1:5.
