Abstract
A method is provided for consolidating a geological formation comprising the injection of a liquid organic mixture into the formation then injection of a hot inert gas mixture through said liquid mixture, so as to transform this liquid mixture by a thermal polymerization reaction into a substance binding the non consolidated elements of the formation. The injected liquid organic mixture contains at least one polyethylenic hydrocarbon to which a catalyst may be added.
