The method further comprises the steps of introducing a first treatment fluid comprising a first base fluid and an in situ acid generating agent into the subterranean formation; and introducing a second treatment fluid comprising a second base fluid and an acid-catalyzed, curable resin into the subterranean formation.

A method of controlling sand production in a sandstone reservoir comprising providing (i) an aminosilane and (ii) a polymeric linking agent comprising monomeric units having pendent functional groups selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid esters and amides, wherein a plurality of the pendent functional groups are reacted with the amino group of the aminosilane by a process selected from the group consisting of aminolysis of carboxylic acid ester groups, Mannich reaction between the amino group of the aminosilane and a plurality of at least one of carboxylic acid and amide pendent groups in the presence of an aldehyde activating agent or combination thereof, contacting the aminosilane and polymeric linking agent with the sandstone reservoir to bond the silane group of the aminosilane with particles of sand and provide agglomeration as a result of covalent bonding of the linking agent with a plurality of aminosilanes.

A coated proppant particle includes a porous ceramic substrate, a hydrophobic treatment material, a resin, an adhesion promoter, a resin crosslinker, and a surface treatment material.

A method of controlling fines migration in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, the method comprising: introducing into the wellbore a screen mesh in an unexpanded form disposed of a first tubular member having a body with apertures, the screen mesh comprising a degradable material; expanding the screen mesh; injecting a cement slurry into the wellbore to fill open spaces within the expanded screen mesh; allowing the cement slurry to set forming a set cement that reduces or substantially preventing the passage of formation particles from migrating from the subterranean formation into the wellbore; and removing the degradable material of the screen mesh forming a fluid pathway in the set cement, which allows a formation fluid to flow from the subterranean formation into the wellbore.

A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore comprises: introducing into the subterranean formation a treatment fluid comprising coated polymeric particles having a polymeric core and a curable thermoset coating disposed on the polymeric core; allowing the curable thermoset coating to cure under downhole conditions; and forming a fluid-permeable pack from the coated polymeric particles, the fluid-permeable pack reducing or substantially preventing the passage of formation particles from the subterranean formation into the wellbore while allowing passage of formation fluids from the subterranean formation into the wellbore.

Methods for using polymeric systems that maintain particle dispersions for extended periods of time, and methods for using dry polymeric systems that are able to undergo fast hydration.

A method of consolidating a subterranean formation which comprises particles is provided. The method includes selecting a subterranean formation in need of consolidation, contacting the particles with a cationic polymer and then an anionic or non-ionic polymer, thereby agglomerating the particles and consolidating the formation, wherein the agglomeration increases the uniformity of the size of the particles. Methods of producing hydrocarbon wherein the formation is consolidated by the method herein described are also provided. Use of kits comprising cationic polymer and anionic polymer and/or non-ionic polymer to consolidate subterranean formations is further provided. Kits comprising the polymers used in the method are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to aqueous gelling systems comprising an encapsulated polymerization accelerator with water soluble or dispersable monomers comprising acrylated or methacrylated polyethylene and/or polyoxypropylene monomers and a polymerization initiator dispersed in said monomers, useful i.a. for sealing subterranean environments or consolidation of a soil or sealing of a subterranean structure.
