Abstract:
Various embodiments disclosed relate to compositions for treatment of subterranean formations and a method of using the same, such as for consolidation treatments. In various embodiments the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation. The method includes obtaining or providing a composition. The composition 5 includes a propane including at least one hydroxy substituent and at least two epoxide substituents. The composition also includes a hardening agent. The method includes placing the composition in a subterranean formation.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation, comprising placing a composition comprising proppant particles into the subterranean formation, wherein at least a portion of proppant particles is coated with a hardened resin that is a cured product of a curable composition comprising: (A) a curable resin and (B) a hardening agent.
Abstract:
Resin coatings are frequently formed in conjunction with performing a subterranean treatment operation. However, poor thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of resin coatings can be problematic in a downhole environment and eventually lead to their breakdown. Methods for enhancing a resin coating in a downhole environment can comprise: introducing a treatment fluid comprising a curable resin and a carbon nanomaterial into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation; forming a coating of the curable resin on a surface in the wellbore, the carbon nanomaterial being dispersed throughout the coating; and curing the curable resin to form a cured resin coating.
Abstract:
The invention provides resin, hardener, and organosilicon compositions for use as coatings on proppant particles in a method of treating subterranean formations.
