A New Phenolic Resin for Sand Control in Wells
We have developed a phenolic resin with a structure modified according to the mechanism for its consolidation with sand. Application of the new resin allows us to reduce the cost of sand control measures because less resin must be used. We have studied the factors affecting the resin sand consolidation strength. We propose a method for injecting the resin into the formation, on the surface of calcium carbonate particles suspended in water.
