Methods comprising: providing a consolidating agent emulsion composition that comprises an aqueous fluid, a surfactant, and a consolidating agent; and coating at least a plurality of particulates with the consolidating agent emulsion to produce a plurality of consolidating agent emulsion coated particulates. Methods comprising: providing a treatment fluid comprising a consolidating agent emulsion comprising an aqueous fluid, an amine surfactant, and a consolidating agent; and introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation. Methods comprising the steps of: coating a plurality of particulates with a consolidating agent emulsion to produce consolidating agent emulsion coated particulates; providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous fluid, a surfactant, and a consolidating agent; introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation. Consolidating agent emulsion compositions comprising: an aqueous fluid; a surfactant; and a consolidating agent comprising a non-aqueous tackifying agent or resin.

Consolidating agent emulsions and associated methods

The present invention relates to methods for controlling the migration of particulates, such as proppant and formation sands, from subterranean formations using solutions of tackifying materials. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation comprising the steps of placing a tackifying composition into the subterranean formation and then placing an after-flush fluid into the subterranean formation.

Methods for controlling migration of particulates in a subterranean formation

A method is set forth for the treatment of mixed oil and water flowing from a producing oil well. Certain salts may be formed by the mixture some of which will be soluble organic salts. The present process sets forth a method of treating the produced stream with low molecular weight amines and preferably amine quaternaries with strong acids so that the oil based salts are removed from the water phase and left with the oil for segregation, thereby permitting disposal of the produced water without creating a sheen on the produced water. Subsequent waste water treatment is avoided to remove traces of oil on the produced but separated water.
