OSTI ID:5665114
In a method of consolidating loose, incompetent earth particles in a subterranean formation, a liquid consisting of a resin-forming material polymerizable to a hardened vinyl-type polymer and a minor proportion of a polymerization promoting free radical type catalyst is injected into the formation through an injection well. Thereafter, polymerization of the resin-forming material is initiated by injecting a cocatalyst through the well and into the formation. (22 claims)
