Abstract
The method relates to the application to a deflected well (1) of a well-known consolidation process through the polymerization in situ of a liquid substance (L) injected within a zone (2) to be consolidated through an injection pipe (5), by interaction with a reacting gas G injected thereafter. In order to limit the zone of intervention and to properly distribute the substance and the gas all over this zone, a combination of a pipe whose wall is fitted with openings (11) all over the end part thereof (5a), a confining packer (8) and a solid separation element (10) displaced in the pipe after the liquid substance by the reacting gas, which prevents any interaction of the reacting gas before it reaches the zone to be consolidated, is used. Injecting the liquid mixture comprises successive stages of circulation between the inside of pipe (5) and the annulus between the pipe and the well (1) and of forcing to have it make through the formation properly. It is generally preceded by a stage of injection of solvent products.
