Abstract
Methods of treating a subterranean formation can comprise introducing a pre-flush fluid into a subterranean formation having particulate matter therein; introducing a curable adhesive composition comprising a silane coupling agent and a polymer, the polymer having a reactive silicon end group, into the subterranean formation subsequent to the pre-flush fluid; introducing an aqueous post-flush fluid into the subterranean formation subsequent to the curable adhesive composition; and allowing the curable adhesive composition to at least partially consolidate particulate matter within the subterranean formation.
