Abstract
A method may include: introducing a treatment fluid into a subterranean formation, the treatment fluid comprising: an aqueous brine; and a hydrolysable resin precursor; allowing the hydrolysable resin precursor to hydrolyze in the subterranean formation to form at least a polymerizable resin precursor monomer; and allowing the polymerizable resin precursor monomer to polymerize to form a polymerized resin in the subterranean formation.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- introducing a treatment fluid into a subterranean formation, the treatment fluid comprising:
- an aqueous brine;
- and
- a hydrolysable resin precursor comprising furfuryl acetate, wherein the furfuryl acetate is present in an amount between 0.1% and 15% by volume of the treatment fluid;
- allowing the hydrolysable resin precursor to hydrolyze in the subterranean formation to form at least a polymerizable resin precursor monomer;
- and
- allowing the polymerizable resin precursor monomer to polymerize to form a polymerized resin in the subterranean formation, wherein the polymerized resin comprises poly(furfuryl alcohol) resin.

A method comprising:
- introducing a pre-treatment fluid into a subterranean formation, the pre-treatment fluid comprising an aqueous brine and an oil-wetting surfactant;
- introducing a first resin treatment fluid into the subterranean formation, the first resin treatment fluid comprising:
- an aqueous brine;
- and
- a hydrolysable resin precursor comprising furfuryl acetate, wherein the furfuryl acetate is present in an amount between 0.1% and 15% by volume of the first resin treatment fluid;
- allowing the hydrolysable resin precursor to hydrolyze in the subterranean formation to form a polymerizable resin precursor monomer and a polymerization initiator, and allowing the polymerizable resin precursor monomer to polymerize to form a polymerized resin in the subterranean formation, wherein the polymerized resin comprises poly(furfuryl alcohol) resin.

A method comprising:
- introducing a treatment fluid into an unconsolidated portion of a subterranean formation, the treatment fluid comprising:
- an aqueous brine;
- a surfactant;
- a silane coupling agent;
- and
- a hydrolysable resin precursor comprising furfuryl acetate, wherein the furfuryl acetate is present in an amount between 0.1% and 15% by volume of the treatment fluid;
- allowing the hydrolysable resin precursor to hydrolyze in the subterranean formation to form a polymerizable resin precursor monomer and a polymerization initiator;
- and
- allowing the polymerizable resin precursor monomer to polymerize to form a polymerized resin in the subterranean formation to at least partially consolidate the unconsolidated portion of the subterranean formation.
