ABSTRACT:
A process is provided for sand consolidation treatment in a subterranean hydrocarbon-bearing formation in fluid communication with a hydrocarbon production well bore. An immature flowing gel is injected through the well bore into a treatment zone of the formation and followed by an overdisplacement fluid which displaces a portion of the immature gel from the zone. Displacement of a portion of the immature gel from the zone establishes flow pathways through the zone for subsequent hydrocarbon production while the gel remaining in the zone matures and effectively consolidates the sand therein.
