ABSTRACT:
The addition of an elastomeric material in intimate mixture with resin-coated particulates for fracturing, gravel packing or other formation treatments decreases or substantially eliminates the flowback of particulates whether proppants or formation fines while stabilizing the particulate and importing elasticity thereto within the formation. Preferred elastomeric materials include, polyolefins, polyamides, polyvinyls and cellulose derivatives in the form of particles, ribbons, fibers or flakes.
