POLYMERIZABLE MONOMER COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING MONOMERS WITH HIGH AFFINITY FOR SAND GRAIN SURFACES FOR SAND CONSOLIDATION APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method of treating a subterranean formation including providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid, a polyvalent metal salt of a carboxylic acid containing monomer, and a cationic monomer. The treatment fluid is combined with a polymerization initiator and is introduced into a subterranean formation. Upon contacting unconsolidated proppants, the treatment method produces consolidated proppants.

1. A well treatment method comprising:
providing wellbore in a subterranean formation; placing a first stream comprising an aqueous base fluid, a polyvalent metal salt of a carboxylic acid containing monomer, and a cationic monomer into a zone in the subterranean formation, said zone comprising unconsolidated particulates; placing a second stream comprising a polymerization initiator into the zone; and forming consolidated particulates upon the contacting of the polyvalent metal salt of a carboxylic acid containing monomer, cationic monomer and the polymerization initiator with the unconsolidated particulates.
