Patent number: 5960880Abstract: The present invention provides methods of stimulating fluid production while preventing the migration of sand with produced fluids from an unconsolidated subterranean formation penetrated by a well bore. The methods basically comprise the steps of creating one or more fractures in the formation, injecting a hardenable resin composition into a portion of the formation through which the fractures extend whereby the portion of the formation is consolidated into a hard permeable mass and depositing proppant in the fractures to maintain the fractures open.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1996Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Philip D.

Patent number: 5871049Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation with a treatment fluid whereby fine particulate flowback is reduced or prevented. The method includes the steps of providing a fluid suspension including a mixture of a particulate coated with a tackifying compound, pumping the suspension into a subterranean formation and depositing the mixture within the formation whereby the tackifying compound retards movement of at least a portion of any fine particulate within the formation upon flow of fluids from the subterranean formation through the wellbore. Alternatively, the tackifying compound may be introduced into a subterranean formation in a diluent containing solution to deposit upon previously introduced particulates to retard movement of such particulates and any fines subject to flow with production of fluids from the subterranean formation.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1998Date of Patent: February 16, 1999Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Jim D. Weaver, James R. Stanford, Philip D. Nguyen, Bobby K. Bowles, Steven F. Wilson, Brahmadeo Dewprashad, Mark A. Parker
