Abstract
The present invention includes methods and compositions that include a resin composition comprising from about 5% to about 30% phenol, from about 40% to about 70% phenol formaldehyde, from about 10 to about 40% furfuryl alcohol, from about 0.1% to about 3% of a silane coupling agent, and from about 1% to about 15% of a surfactant and methods of using of that resin in controlling particulate flowback from a subterranean formation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing a resin composition comprising:
- about 5% to about 30% phenol by weight of the resin composition;
- about 40% to about 70% phenol formaldehyde by weight of the resin composition;
- about 10% to about 40% furfuryl alcohol by weight of the resin composition;
- about 0.1% to about 3% of a silane coupling agent by weight of the resin composition;
- and
- about 1% to about 15% of a surfactant by weight of the resin composition;
- providing proppant particles;
- and
- coating the resin composition onto at least a portion of the proppant particles to create resin-coated proppant particles, wherein the resin composition does not substantially cure during coating

- introducing the middle portion of proppant particles into the fracture in the subterranean zone;
- and
- introducing the last portion of resin-coated proppant particles into the fracture in the subterranean zone.
