Abstract
To reduce laser energy usage in sandstone consolidation, an additive material is flowed to a portion of the sandstone formation to be treated. The additive material is configured to reduce a melting point of the formation upon contacting the formation. A laser beam is directed on the portion of the formation after the additive material has contacted the portion of the formation. The laser beam increases a temperature of the formation to less than the reduced melting point of the formation. The laser beam melts the portion of the formation at less than the reduced melting point in response to the additive material contacting the portion of the formation before the laser beam increases the temperature of the formation.
