Gravel packing of perforations is the conventional method for sand control in the petroleum industry. Case histories of 12 well treatments provide details of a new procedure for high-energy resin placement that controls sand in a formation. The new consolidation method uses an extremely over-balanced pressure surge with liquid resin on perforations. This paper presents the problem, theory, process description, job procedure, and results of resin treatments with perforating or surging with a high-energy overbalanced pressure pulse. Highlights include potential applications. Benefits of the technique include accelerating on-line production and reducing completion rig time spent on controlling sand. The method appears to yield equal or better results than previous conventional gravel-packing techniques.
