Sand consolidation and water block with multipodal compositions

A method for sand consolidation in a subterranean formation, the method comprising:

• combining 1) an aminosilane component, an epoxysilane component, and a silane-free cross linking component having from 2 to 10 linking groups, and 2) a hydrocarbon carrier, to form a composition comprising a multipodal product and the hydrocarbon carrier, wherein the multipodal product is i) a reaction product of the aminosilane component, the epoxysilane component, and the silane-free cross linking component and ii) present in the composition in a range of from 1 wt % to 8 wt % based on a total weight of the composition;
• and
• introducing the composition into the subterranean formation via a wellbore that is formed in the subterranean formation such that the multipodal product of the composition bonds to a sand surface of sand in the subterranean formation,
• wherein the silane-free cross linking component is selected from an aldehyde-based compound, an acyl chloride-based compound, an isocyanate-based compound, a carboxylic acid-based compound, or combinations thereof.
