Patent ID: 8689872

Claim:
A remedial method of controlling particulates within at least a portion of a subterranean formation, the method comprising: placing an aqueous tackifying treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation, the portion of the subterranean formation comprising a proppant pack within a portion of a fracture that was previously created during a separate stimulation operation; wherein the aqueous tackifying treatment fluid comprises an aqueous tackifying agent selected from the group consisting of: a charged polymer; an acrylic acid polymer; an acrylic acid ester polymer; an acrylic acid homopolymer; an acrylic acid ester homopolymer; poly(methyl acrylate); poly(butyl acrylate); poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate); an acrylic acid ester co-polymer; a methacrylic acid derivative polymer; a methacrylic acid homopolymer; a methacrylic acid ester homopolymer; poly(methyl methacrylate); poly(butyl methacrylate); poly(2-ethylhexyl methacrylate); an acrylamido-methyl-propane sulfonate polymer; an acrylamido-methyl-propane sulfonate derivative polymer; an acrylamido-methyl-propane sulfonate co-polymer; an acrylic acid/acrylamido-methyl-propane sulfonate co-polymer; and any combination thereof; subsequent to placing the aqueous tackifying treatment fluid, placing a resin composition comprising a solvent into the portion of the subterranean formation such that the resin composition does not penetrate the entire proppant pack; wherein the resin composition comprises at least one curable resin or at least one non-curable resin; wherein the at least one curable resin, if selected, comprises at least one resin selected from the group consisting of: a two component epoxy-based resin; a novolak resin; a polyepoxide resin; a phenol-aldehyde resin; a urea-aldehyde resin; a furan resin; a furan/furfuryl alcohol resin; a phenolic/latex resin; a phenol formaldehyde resin; an acrylate resin; and any combination thereof; and wherein the at least one non-curable resin, if selected, comprises at least one noncurable resin selected from the group consisting of: a condensation reaction product comprised of a polyacid and a polyamine; a polyamine; a polyacid; a trimer acid; a synthetic acid produced from a fatty acid; maleic anhydride; acrylic acid; an aldehyde; formaldehyde; a dialdehyde; glutaraldehyde; a hemiacetal; an aldehyde releasing compound; a diacid halide; a dihalide; a dichloride; a dibromide; a polyacid anhydride; citric acid; an epoxide; a furfuraldehyde; an aldehyde condensate; a silyl-modified polyamide; and any combination thereof; and forming a consolidated proppant pack after contacting the proppant pack with the aqueous tackifying agent and the resin composition.
