ABSTRACT:
A method of gravel packing a well comprising injecting into the well bore opposite a production zone a slurry of metal-coated sand to form a deposit of the coated sand against the wall of the well bore. The in-place, metal-coated sand is then electrolessly plated with a metal such as nickel to form a consolidated permeable, coated sand pack thereby minimizing migration of sand and other granular materials into the well bore from the production zone.
