Method to Consolidate Solid Materials During Subterranean Treatment Operations

Abstract

Compositions include (1) aggregating compositions capable of forming deformable partial or complete coatings on formation surfaces, formation particle surfaces, downhole fluid solid surfaces, and/or proppant surfaces, where the coatings increase aggregation and/or agglomeration propensities of the particles and surfaces to form particles clusters or pillars having deformable coatings, and (2) aggregation stabilizing and/or strengthening compositions capable of altering properties of the coated clusters or pillars to form consolidated, stabilized, and/or strengthened clusters or pillars. Methods for stabilizing aggregated particle clusters or pillars include (1) treating the particles with an aggregating composition to form aggregated clusters or pillars and (2) treating the aggregated particle clusters or pillars with a stabilizing or strengthening composition to form consolidated, stabilized, and/or strengthened clusters or pillars.

1 . A composition comprising:
 (1) zeta potential altering or aggregating composition consisting of 1) an amine/phosphate reaction product, 2) at amine component and an amine/phosphate reaction product, 3) a polymeric amine; 4) a polymeric amine and an amine/phosphate reaction product, 5) a polymeric amine, an amine component, and an amine/phosphate reaction product, 6) an amine component, and a coating crosslinking composition comprising an inorganic crosslinking agent, an organic crosslinking agent, or mixtures and combinations thereof,   wherein the amine component is selected from the group consisting of alkyl pyridines or mixtures of alkyl pyridines, alkyl pyrroles or mixtures of alkyl pyrroles, alkyl piperidines or mixtures of alkyl piperidines, alkyl pyrrolidines or mixtures of alkyl pyrrolidines, alkyl indolizines or mixture of alkyl indolizines, alkyl indoles or mixture of alkyl indoles, alkyl imidazole or mixtures of alkyl imidazole, alkyl quinoline or mixture of alkyl quinoline, alkyl isoquinoline or mixture of alkyl isoquinoline, alkyl pyrazine or mixture of alkyl pyrazine, alkyl quinoxaline or mixture of alkyl quinoxaline, alkyl acridine or mixture of alkyl acridine, alkyl pyrimidine or mixture of alkyl pyrimidine, alkyl quinazoline or mixture of alkyl quinazoline, or mixtures and combinations thereof.
