  • Publication number: 20080011476
    Abstract: At least one method is provided comprising: providing a tackifying compound and at least one surfactant; mixing the surfactant with the tackifying compound to form a tackifying compound surfactant mixture; coating the tackifying compound surfactant mixture onto particulates to form coated particulates; mixing the coated particulates into a treatment fluid; and placing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation.

  • Publication number: 20070187097
    Abstract: Methods comprising: providing a consolidating agent emulsion composition that comprises an aqueous fluid, a surfactant, and a consolidating agent; and coating at least a plurality of particulates with the consolidating agent emulsion to produce a plurality of consolidating agent emulsion coated particulates. Methods comprising: providing a treatment fluid comprising a consolidating agent emulsion comprising an aqueous fluid, an amine surfactant, and a consolidating agent; and introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation. Methods comprising the steps of: coating a plurality of particulates with a consolidating agent emulsion to produce consolidating agent emulsion coated particulates; providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous fluid, a surfactant, and a consolidating agent; introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation.

  • Publication number: 20070079965
    Abstract: Methods of improving load recovery using hydrophobic coatings to enhance the recovery of treatment fluids from subterranean formations may include the use of hydrophobic coating agents. In particular, such methods may include the steps of coating a plurality of particulates so as to form a plurality of hydrophobically-coated particulates. The presence of these hydrophobically-coated particulates downhole may enhance the recovery of aqueous treatment fluids.

  • Publication number: 20050194137
    Abstract: Methods of treating a portion of a subterranean formation comprising: providing partitioned, coated particulates that comprise particulates, an adhesive substance, and a partitioning agent, and wherein the adhesive substance comprises an aqueous tackifying agent or a silyl modified polyamide; substantially slurrying the partitioned, coated particulates in a treatment fluid to create a particulate slurry; and, placing the particulate slurry into the portion of the subterranean formation.
