Compositions and methods for use of proppant surface chemistry to improve proppant consolidation and flowback control

A method of forming a consolidated proppant pack in a fracture of a subterranean formation, the method comprising:

• providing a fracturing fluid comprising a liquid reactive crosslinker that is dispersed throughout the fracturing fluid as an emulsion;
• mixing the fracturing fluid with a plurality of unconsolidated resin-coated proppant particulates to form a mixture, the plurality of particulates comprising proppant particulates having a resin coating on an outer surface of each of the proppant particulates;
• injecting the mixture into a well bore, wherein the mixture remains turbulent until placed in the fracture;
• and
• contacting the resin-coated proppant particulates with the reactive crosslinker in the fracture at a crosslinking temperature, whereby the reactive crosslinker reacts with the resin-coated proppant particulates to form the consolidated proppant pack.
