Filler Particles with Enhanced Suspendability for Use in Hardenable Resin Compositions
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing a hardenable resin composition that comprises a liquid hardenable resin, a hardening agent, and a plurality of filler particles having an average diameter of about 3 nm to about 20 microns;
introducing the hardenable resin composition into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation; and
hardening the hardenable resin composition to form a resin-based sealant composition in at least a portion of the wellbore, in at least a portion of the subterranean formation, or both.

Abstract
Filler particles having an average diameter of about 3 nm to about 20 microns may have enhanced suspendability and be useful in hardenable resin compositions and methods relating thereto. In some instances, a method may include providing a hardenable resin composition that comprises a liquid hardenable resin, a hardening agent, and a plurality of filler particles having an average diameter of about 3 nm to about 20 microns; introducing the hardenable resin composition into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation; and allowing the hardenable resin composition to harden to form a resin-based sealant composition in at least a portion of the wellbore, in at least a portion of the subterranean formation, or both.

17. A method comprising:
-
providing a hardenable resin composition that comprises a liquid hardenable resin, a hardening agent, and a plurality of filler particles having an average diameter of about 3 nm to about 20 microns; introducing the hardenable resin composition into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation; placing the liquid hardenable resin in an annulus between the subterranean formation and a conduit disposed within the wellbore; and hardening the hardenable resin composition into a resin-based sealant composition to support the conduit.
