Abstract
Methods and compositions for consolidating particulate matter in a subterranean formation are provided. In one embodiment, a method of treating a subterranean formation includes coating a curable adhesive composition comprising a silane coupling agent and a polymer having a reactive silicon end group onto proppant material; suspending the coated proppant material in a carrier fluid to form a proppant slurry; introducing the proppant slurry into a subterranean formation; and allowing the curable adhesive composition to at least partially consolidate the proppant material in the subterranean formation.
Claims20
A method of treating a subterranean formation, the method comprising:
- coating a curable adhesive composition onto a proppant material, thereby forming a coated proppant material;
- wherein the curable adhesive composition comprises a silane coupling agent and a polymer, the polymer having a reactive silicon end group;
- suspending the coated proppant material in a carrier fluid to form a proppant slurry;
- introducing the proppant slurry into a subterranean formation;
- and
- allowing the curable adhesive composition to at least partially consolidate the proppant material in the subterranean formation.
A method of treating a subterranean formation, the method comprising:
- providing coated particulates comprising a curable adhesive composition;
- wherein the curable adhesive composition comprises a silane coupling agent and a polymer, the polymer having a reactive silicon end group;
- introducing the coated particulates into a subterranean formation;
- and
- allowing the curable adhesive composition to at least partially cure in the subterranean formation.
