Methods and compositions including introducing a lost circulation material to a zone of interest in a subterranean formation via a wellbore, the zone of interest comprising depleted zones, zones of low pressure, lost circulation zones, fractured zones, and any combination thereof; wherein the lost circulation material comprises an epoxidized linear α-olefin; a surfactant; a curing agent; and a carbon dioxide gas-generating compound comprising sodium bicarbonate; heating the lost circulation material; and allowing the epoxidized linear α-olefin to polymerize to a resin and the carbon dioxide gas-generating compound to produce a gas to form a foamed resin in the zone of interest, thereby mitigating a flow of fluids from the wellbore into the subterranean formation.
