Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed relate to a composition including a crosslinkable ampholyte polymer or a crosslinked product of the same, methods of making and using the composition, and systems including the composition. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation. The method can include obtaining or providing a composition including a crosslinkable ampholyte polymer. The crosslinkable ampholyte polymer can include an ethylene repeating unit including a —C(O)NH2 group, an ethylene repeating unit including a —S(O)2OR1 group, and an ethylene repeating unit comprising an —N+R23X? group. At each occurrence, R1 can be independently selected from the group consisting of —H and a counterion. At each occurrence, R2 can be independently substituted or unsubstituted (C1-C20)hydrocarbyl. At each occurrence, X? can be independently a counterion. The composition can also include at least one crosslinker.

Abstract: Methods are provided that include a method comprising providing a consolidating agent emulsion composition comprising an aqueous fluid, an emulsifying agent, and a consolidating agent; and introducing the consolidating agent emulsion composition into at least a portion of a subterranean formation. In some embodiments, the consolidating agent emulsion composition may be introduced into at least a portion of a propped fracture that comprises proppant particulates and allowed to at least partially consolidate at least a portion of the propped fracture. In some embodiments, the consolidating agent emulsion composition comprises a resin composition. Additional methods are also provided.

Abstract: Methods comprising providing a fracturing fluid comprising proppant particulates at least partially coated with a hardenable resin composition that comprises a hardenable resin component and a hardening agent component, wherein the hardenable resin component comprises a hardenable resin and wherein the hardening agent component comprises a hardening agent, a silane coupling agent, and a surfactant; introducing the fracturing fluid into at least one fracture within the subterranean formation; depositing at least a portion of the proppant particulates in the fracture; allowing at least a portion of the proppant particulates in the fracture to form a proppant pack; and, allowing at least a portion of the hardenable resin composition to migrate from the proppant particulates to a fracture face.

Abstract: A method of treating a subterranean formation or of stabilizing a surface within a subterranean fracture comprising: providing a treatment fluid comprising lightweight proppant at least partially coated with an adhesive substance; introducing the treatment fluid into a portion of a subterranean formation; depositing at least a portion of the lightweight proppant in the portion of the subterranean formation; allowing at least a portion of the lightweight proppant in the subterranean formation to form a particulate pack; and, allowing at least a portion of the adhesive substance to migrate from the lightweight particulates to a surface within the portion of the subterranean formation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stabilizing surfaces within a subterranean formation using particulates coated with a consolidating liquid.
