Abstract

Various embodiments disclosed relate to methods of treating subterranean formations, and compositions, systems and methods for performing the methods. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation, including obtaining or providing a composition that includes an alkenoate ester. The composition also includes at least one of a dialkenyldihydrocarbylammonium halide and an N,Ndihydrocarbyl-substituted alkenamide. The method also includes placing the composition in a subterranean formation downhole. Various embodiments provide methods of treating a subterranean formation using a composition including a polymer that is a reaction product of a mixture including an alkenoate ester and at least one of a dialkenyldihydrocarbylammonium halide and an N,N-dihydrocarbyl-substituted alkenamide.
