Method for the control of solids accompanying hydrocarbon production from subterranean formations

OSTI ID:5152733
This patent describes a method for controlling solids contained in hydrocarbonaceous fluids produced from a subterranean formation. It comprises perforating a wellbore at a productive interval of a hydrocarbonaceous fluid-containing formation; injecting into the productive interval via perforations a fracturing fluid containing a resin-coated self-consolidating particulate material which is of a size and composition sufficient to prop a created fracture and form a permeable consolidated mass therein; fracturing hydraulically the productive interval and thereafter creating a propped fracture with a self-consolidated permeable mass therein as well as within the perforations and wellbore which mass has filtration properties and composition sufficient to restrain solids entrained in the hydrocarbonaceous fluid; and removing mechanically the consolidated permeable mass from the wellbore which allows hydrocarbonaceous fluids to be produced from the formation substantially solids free which solids are restrained by the permeable consolidated mass within the fracture and perforations.
