Abstract
Methods of treating a subterranean formation are disclosed that include placing a treatment fluid into a subterranean formation, the treatment fluid containing a one or more polymers capable of consolidating to form a polymeric structure at a downhole location. Also disclosed are treatment fluids including a polymeric structure for treating a subterranean formation.
Claims39
A method for treating a subterranean formation comprising:
- placing a treatment fluid including at least one or more polymers into a subterranean formation via a wellbore;
- adjusting at least one parameter of the treatment fluid;
- exposing the treatment fluid to a shear event;
- and
- consolidating the one or more polymers into at least one polymeric structure.
2 more elements
A fluid for treating a subterranean formation comprising:
- a solvent;
- and
- a polymeric structure comprising one or more polymers;
- wherein the polymeric structure is formed by consolidating the one or more polymers during a shear event.
