Abstract
Systems and methods for treating subterranean formations using deagglomerated inorganic clay particles are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise: providing a treatment fluid that comprises a base fluid, a consolidating agent, and a deagglomerated inorganic clay particle; introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation so as to contact unconsolidated particles within the subterranean formation with the treatment fluid; and allowing the consolidating agent and the deagglomerated inorganic clay particle to consolidate at least a portion of the unconsolidated particulates in the portion of the subterranean formation.
