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.
