Abstract
A method of consolidating particulates comprising providing a slurry comprising a carrier fluid, a first portion of particulates, and a second portion of particulates wherein the first portion of particulates is at least partially coated with resin or tackifying agent and wherein the second portion of particulates is substantially free of resin or tackifying agent; introducing the slurry into a portion of a subterranean formation such that the first portion of particulates and second portion of particulates to form a particulate pack in the portion of the subterranean formation; and, allowing the resin to substantially consolidate the particulate pack. A particulate slurry for use in subterranean formations comprising a carrier fluid, a first portion of particulates, and a second portion of particulates wherein the first portion of particulates is at least partially coated with resin or tackifying agent and wherein the second portion of particulates is substantially free of resin or tackifying agent.
