METHODS FOR CONTROLLING WATER AND PARTICULATE PRODUCTION IN SUBTERRANEAN WELLS

摘要

Improved methods for stabilizing unconsolidated subterranean formation particulates and reducing permeability of a subterranean formation to water. Some methods describe methods of stabilizing unconsolidated subterranean formation particulates and reducing the permeability of water comprising providing a portion of a subterranean formation that comprises unconsolidated formation particulates; introducing a fluid comprising a relative permeability modifier into at least a portion of the subterranean formation so as to at least partially reduce the permeability of that portion of the subterranean formation to water; and, introducing a fluid comprising a consolidating agent into at least a portion of the subterranean formation so as to at least partially consolidate the unconsolidated formation particulates.
