ABSTRACT:
The current invention provides improved methods of completing wellbores penetrating unconsolidated and poorly consolidated subterranean zones. The methods basically comprise the steps of placing a coated proppant in fractures penetrating the subterranean zone, allowing the coated proppant to cure or set as a fluid permeable barrier to particulate matter and expanding an expandable well screen located adjacent to the fractures.
