Patent ID: 6962200

Claim:
A method of making high-strength permeable packs in a fracture created in a subterranean zone having a temperature from about 60° F. to about 250° F. comprising the steps of: a providing a liquid hardenable resin component comprising a hardenable resin; b providing a liquid hardening agent component comprising a liquid hardening agent, a silane coupling agent, and a surfactant; c providing proppant particles; d providing a fracturing fluid; e mixing the liquid hardenable resin component with the liquid hardening agent component on-the-fly to form a liquid hardenable resin composition; f coating the proppant particles with the liquid hardenable resin composition at the well site to form hardenable resin-coated proppant particles; g suspending the hardenable resin-coated proppant particles in the fracturing fluid to form a substantial suspension of hardenable resin-coated proppant particles in the fracturing fluid; wherein the coating of the proppant particles occurs substantially before the suspending of the hardenable resin-coated proppant particles in the fracturing fluid; h pumping the suspension into a subterranean zone for a chosen period of time to form one or more fractures therein; i placing at least some of the hardenable resin-coated proppant particles in at least one of the fractures; j terminating steps e, f, g, h, and i; and, k allowing the hardenable resin on the hardenable resin-coated proppant particles to cure.
