Summary:Methods of creating degradable particulates in a subterranean environment. The methods provide a degradable material supercritical fluid mixture that comprises degradable material into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation and provide an orifice between the wellbore and the subterranean formation wherein the pressure in the subterranean formation is less than the pressure in the wellbore. The degradable material supercritical fluid is then fed through the orifice into the subterranean formation such that the degradable material supercritical fluid mixture expands through an orifice into the lower subterranean formation and particulates are formed.
