Disclosed is a method of reducing lost circulation, sealing lost circulation zones, and stabilizing weak formations, using copolymers of ethylene acrylic or ethylene methacrylic acid, or the single valence ionomers thereof, characterized as low density, solid at ambient temperature, reactive in selected temperature ranges, ductile, and able to adhere to rock and to each other to form ionomers in situ, wherein said copolymers are optionally used in combination with other solid agents, and wherein the treatment of said zones can be further enhanced by particle sizing and by blending into the treatment mixture multivalent alkaline earth and/or transition metals to provide optimum properties for the resulting ionomers given formation temperatures, conditions, and compositions.
