Abstract
Various embodiments disclosed relate to compositions for treatment of subterranean formations and a method of using the same, such as for consolidation treatments. In various embodiments the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation. The method includes obtaining or providing a composition. The composition 5 includes a propane including at least one hydroxy substituent and at least two epoxide substituents. The composition also includes a hardening agent. The method includes placing the composition in a subterranean formation.
Claims19
A method of treating a subterranean formation, comprising:
- placing in the subterranean formation a treating composition comprising:
- a consolidating composition consisting essentially of about 0.001 wt % to about 50 wt % of a propane-1,2,3-triol having a hydroxy substituent and two epoxide substituents, based upon the total weight of the treating composition;
- and about 0.001 wt % to about 50 wt % of a hardening agent, based upon the total weight of the treating composition;
- and
- curing the consolidating composition in the subterranean formation to form a cured product of the consolidating composition, wherein, as compared to a comparative consolidating composition comprising a non-hydroxy-containing epoxy resin, the cured product of the consolidating composition imparts increased compressive strength to particled in the subterranean formation.
A method of treating a subterranean formation, comprising:
- placing in the subterranean formation a treating composition comprising:
- a consolidating composition consisting essentially of about 0.001 wt % to about 50 wt %, based upon the total weight of the treating composition, of a propane-1,2,3-triol having a hydroxy substituent and two epoxide substituents having the following structure:
- wherein:
- one of R1, R2, and R3 is —H, and
- two of R1, R2, and R3 are independently glycidyl;
- and
- about 0.001 wt % to about 50 wt %, based upon the total weight of the treating composition, of a hardening agent;
- and
- curing the consolidating composition in the subterranean formation to form a cured product of the consolidating composition, wherein, as compared to a comparative consolidating composition comprising a non-hydroxy-containing epoxy resin, the cured product of the consolidating composition imparts increased compressive strength to particulates in the subterranean formation.
