A method of completing an unconsolidated formulation (11) by first injecting a curable resin into diametrically opposed zones (15) within the formation and then allowing the resin to set to form a consolidated mass in these zones. Once the resin has set, the consolidated zones are hydraulically fractured (16) to establish fluid communication between the untreated area of the formation (11) outside these zones and the wellbore (10). Preferably, the fracturing fluid carries resin-coated proppants which, when set, form a permeable mass within the fractures (16) to thereby allow flow of fluids through the fractures (16) while preventing flow of sand.
