Abstract

See full text

A method of treating an earthen formation that includes introducing a first amount of a first blocked isocyanate in a liquid phase into the earthen formation; introducing a second amount of a second blocked isocyanate in a liquid phase into the earthen formation; the second blocked isocyanate group having a lower unblocking temperature than the first blocked isocyanate group; introducing at least one active hydrogen compound into the earthen formation; and contacting the first and second blocked isocyanates and the active hydrogen compound to form an elastomeric gel. The combination of two blocked isocyanates provides a synergistic effect so that the curing time can be optimised in a manner unexpected from the properties of the individual blocked isocyanates.
