Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for hydraulically fracturing a subterranean formation to improve the production rates and ultimate recovery by contacting unconsolidated resin-coated proppant particulates residing in a propped fracture with a reactive crosslinker in order to form a consolidated proppant pack. The present invention also relates to methods for use in water injection wells to consolidate the resin-coated proppant particulates in a gravel packed or frac packed region of a wellbore.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of hydraulic fracturing of a subterranean formation, the method comprising:\n mixing a plurality of unconsolidated resin-coated proppant particulates with a fracturing fluid and a liquid reactive crosslinker to form a mixture; introducing the mixture into a fracture located in the subterranean formation; and consolidating at least a portion of the plurality of resin-coated proppant particulates in the fracture.
