Claim:
1. A conglomerated formation comprising: a weakly consolidated formation, a semi consolidated formation, or unconsolidated formation injected with an effective amount of an aggregating, agglomerating or conglomerating composition sufficient to form a conglomerated formation, where: the composition comprises a reaction product of an amine and a phosphate ester, the amine is of the general formula R the phosphate esters include phosphate esters of the general formula P(O)(OR where the composition imparts to the conglomerated formation sufficient strength to reduce or eliminate formation collapse or cave in during subsequent above critical draw down pressure production and to increase a maximum sand free flow rate of a producing formation or to reduce a flow of formation particulate out of the producing formation or to reduce a flow of formation particulate into an injection formation.
