Method of forming a consolidated gravel pack
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6563067
A permeable consolidated gravel pack is placed in a borehole adjacent to an incompetent formation by first emplacing a self-breaking gel in the formation to temporarily plug the formation, and then injecting a slurry of treated particulate matter, e.g., resin-coated sand, to form the consolidated gravel pack. The method is particularly useful for the treatment of incompetent formations having unusually low pressures and high permeabilities. (17 claims)
