Abstract:
A method for treating a subterranean formation containing shale includes introducing to the subterranean formation a shale stabilizer, a surfactant, and a triggering agent simultaneously with or prior to introducing an alkali silicate to the subterranean formation, and allowing the alkali silicate and triggering agent to react to form a reaction product. Methods include coating the surface of at least a portion of the shale with the reaction product.
