PREVENTION OF WATER INTRUSION INTO PARTICULATES

摘要

Treatments and compounds useful in subterranean formations are discussed, with particular attention to those where particulates may be subject to water intrusion. Certain methods pertain to providing diffusion barriers for particulates. Of these, certain diffusion barriers may provide hydrophobic coatings to the particulates, certain diffusion barriers may provide fillers that may act to prevent water intrusion into surface features of particulates, and certain diffusion barriers may be initiated with diagenesis source material.
