ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to aqueous tackifiers and methods of controlling particulates in subterranean formations using aqueous tackifiers. Some embodiments of the present invention provide methods of controlling particulates, comprising placing an aqueous tackifier compound into a portion of a subterranean formation comprising unconsolidated particulates; and, activating the aqueous tackifier compound. Other embodiments of the present invention provide methods of coating a portion of a surface in a subterranean formation comprising substantially coating an aqueous tackifier compound onto a portion of a subterranean formation; and, activating the aqueous tackifier compound. Other embodiments of the present invention provide treatment fluids for controlling fine particulates, comprising a servicing fluid and an aqueous tackifier compound.
