Abstract

The addition of specific fibrous, platelet, and/or fibrous and platelet compositions in mixtures with particulates for or during well treatment procedures such as fracturing and gravel packing decreases or eliminates the undesirable transport or flowback of proppant or formation particulates. Novoloid and novoloid-type polymer material may be used for forming a porous pack in a subterranean formation.
