METHODS OF TREATING SUBTERRANEAN FORMATIONS USING SOLID PARTICLES AND OTHER LARGER SOLID MATERIALS

摘要

Improved methods of treating subterranean formations using solid particles a nd other larger solid materials are provided. The methods are basically comprised of the steps of introducing a carrier fluid containing suspended solid particles which have been coated with a non-hardening tackifying agent into a subterranean formation, mixing a solid material of larger size with the tackifying compound coated solid particles whereby the solid particles stick to the larger solid material and the solid particles and larger solid material are uniformly suspended in the carrier fluid and depositing the larger solid material and the tackifyin g compound coated smaller solid particles in the subterranean formation.
