TREATMENT OF SILICEOUS MATERIALS USING CATECHOL AND AMINES IN SUBTERRANEAN APPLICATIONS

摘要

Compositions and methods for the treatment of siliceous materials (e.g., silica and/or other silicates) in subterranean applications are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise: providing a treatment composition comprising a base fluid, a catechol component, and an amine component; introducing the treatment composition into at least a portion of a subterranean formation comprising one or more siliceous materials; and allowing at least a portion of the treatment composition to contact at least a portion of the siliceous materials in the subterranean formation to dissolve at least a portion of the siliceous materials.
