ABSTRACT:
Improved methods and compositions for consolidating proppant in fractures formed in subterranean zones are provided. An improvement of this invention comprises using proppant particles having a coating of hardenable resin including a gel breaker. The gel breaker facilitates removal of gelled carrier fluid from the surface of the proppant particles.
