Method for consolidating incompetent subterranean formations
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5918441
A process is given for consolidating incompetent formations which include zones of relatively high permeability. A slurry, including particulate material and an adhesive, has primary utility in such formations. In one aspect, a relatively limited amount of the slurry is pumped down a borehole into contact with the formation to be consolidated and a catalyst solution is then placed in contact with the adhesive material in the slurry to flash-set it. Another quantity of slurry is then positioned against the formation immediately adjacent to the portion of the slurry which was flash-set as a result of the inital operations in the borehole.
