Sand consolidation and water block with multipodal compositions

1 . A method for sand consolidation in a subterranean formation, the method comprising:

combining 1) an aminosilane component, an epoxysilane component, and a silane-free cross linking component having from 2 to 10 linking groups, and 2) a hydrocarbon carrier, to form a composition comprising a multipodal product and the hydrocarbon carrier, wherein the multipodal product is i) a reaction product of the aminosilane component, the epoxysilane component, and the silane-free cross linking component and ii) present in the composition in a range of from 1 wt % to 8 wt % based on a total weight of the composition; and

introducing the composition into the subterranean formation via a wellbore that is formed in the subterranean formation such that the multipodal product of the composition bonds to a sand surface of sand in the subterranean formation,

wherein the silane-free cross linking component is selected from an aldehyde-based compound, an acyl chloride-based compound, an isocyanate-based compound, a carboxylic acid-based compound, or combinations thereof.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition has less than 0.5 wt % water based on a total weight of the composition.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the aminosilane component has a formula X 3 —Si—R, wherein each X is independently selected from a halide group or an alkoxy group and R is a C 4 -C 20 aliphatic carbon chain with a primary or secondary amine functional group.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the silane-free cross linking component further comprises an epoxy-based compound selected from trimethylpropane diglycidyl ether, trimethylpropane triglycidyl ether, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, cyclohexanedimethanol diglycidyl ether, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, sorbitol polyglycidyl ether, pentaerythritol polyglycidyl ether, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, poly (bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin) diglycidyl ether, poly [(o-cresyl glycidyl ether)-co-formaldehyde], poly (glycidyl methacrylate), or combinations thereof.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the silane-free cross linking component further comprises an amine-based compound selected from an aliphatic amine, a cycloaliphatic amine, a heterocyclic amine, amidoamine, triethylenetetraamine, ethylenediamine, N-(coco alkyl)trimethylenediamine, isophoronediamine, N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine, or combinations thereof.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein after introducing the composition, a permeability of the subterranean formation to oil is retained to greater than 95% of a permeability of the subterranean formation to oil before introducing the composition.
