Abstract: Degradable material for treatment fluids for use in fluid loss control, diversion, and plugging operations, methods of preparing the degradable material, and methods of using the degradable material in treatment fluids are disclosed. The degradable materials are polymer-based solid acid precursor particles that have been partially or fully coated with an anti-caking agent to prevent agglomeration of the polymer-based solid acid precursor particles during storage and transport. These coated polymer-based solid acid precursor particles can then be added to a variety of treatment fluids to temporarily create a physical barrier to fluid flow before degrading and generating acids that can be used in other treatment operations. This degradable coated polymer-based solid acid precursor additive can be combined with other traditional downhole additives such surfactants, viscosifiers, and biocides, allowing for a wide variety of applications in hydrocarbon reservoirs.
