Methods of controlling sand and water production in subterranean zones

1. A method comprising:

providing a consolidating agent;

introducing the consolidating agent into an unconsolidated portion of a subterranean formation using a fluid diversion tool;

allowing the consolidating agent to at least partially consolidate the unconsolidated portion of the subterranean formation;

providing a relative permeability modifier;

introducing the relative permeability modifier into the subterranean formation using a fluid diversion tool; and

allowing the relative permeability modifier to modify the relative permeability of at least a portion of the subterranean formation.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the consolidating agent is selected from the group consisting of resins, tackifying agents, gelable liquid compositions, derivatives thereof and combinations thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the relative permeability modifier is selected from the group consisting of water-soluble hydrophobically modified polymers, water-soluble hydrophilically modified polymers; water-soluble polymers without hydrophobic orhydrophilic modification, derivatives thereof and combinations thereof.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the relative permeability modifier comprises an amino methacrylate/alkyl amino methacrylate copolymer.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the fluid diversion tool comprises a joint of pipe and at least one port that is capable of directing the flow of fluid into a subterranean formation in a desired direction.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein introducing the relative permeability modifier into the subterranean formation occurs after introducing the consolidating agent into an unconsolidated portion of a subterranean formation.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein introducing the consolidating agent comprises introducing a treatment fluid that comprises the consolidating agent into an unconsolidated portion of the subterranean formation using the fluid diversion tool.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein introducing the relative permeability modifier comprises introducing a treatment fluid that comprises the relative permeability modifier into the subterranean formation using the fluid diversion tool.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the treatment fluid that comprises the relative permeability modifier is introduced into the subterranean formation at or above a pressure sufficient to create or enhance at least one fracture in a portion of the subterranean formation.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising introducing one or more preflush fluids into the subterranean formation.

11. The method of claim 1 further comprising introducing one or more afterflush fluids into the subterranean formation.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising displacing the consolidating agent from the portion of the subterranean formation that has been at least partially consolidated by the consolidating agent.

13. The method of claim 1 further comprising introducing a treatment fluid into the subterranean formation at or above a pressure sufficient to create or enhance at least one fracture in a portion of the subterranean formation.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein introducing the treatment fluid into the subterranean formation at or above a pressure sufficient to create or enhance at least one fracture in a portion of the subterranean formation comprises introducing the treatment fluid using the fluid diversion tool.

15. The method of claim 13 wherein the treatment fluid further comprises a plurality of proppant particulates.

16. A method of treating an unconsolidated portion of a subterranean formation penetrated by a well bore, the method comprising:

providing a consolidating agent;

introducing the consolidating agent into the well bore using a fluid diversion tool;

allowing the consolidating agent to at least partially consolidate the unconsolidated portion of the subterranean formation;

providing a relative permeability modifier;

introducing the relative permeability modifier into the well bore using a fluid diversion tool; and

allowing the relative permeability modifier to modify the relative permeability of at least a portion of the subterranean formation.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein one or more casing strings or screens resides in the well bore.

18. The method of claim 16 wherein the fluid diversion tool comprises a joint of pipe and at least one port that is capable of directing the flow of fluid into a subterranean formation in a desired direction.

19. A method of treating an unconsolidated portion of a subterranean formation penetrated by a well bore, the method comprising:

providing a consolidating agent;

introducing the consolidating agent into the unconsolidated portion of the subterranean formation using a fluid diversion tool;

allowing the consolidating agent to at least partially consolidate the unconsolidated portion of the subterranean formation;

providing a relative permeability modifier that comprises an amino methacrylate/alkyl amino methacrylate copolymer;

introducing the relative permeability modifier into the subterranean formation using a fluid diversion tool; and

allowing the relative permeability modifier to modify the relative permeability of at least a portion of the subterranean formation.

20. The method of claim 19 wherein the fluid diversion tool comprises a joint of pipe and at least one port that is capable of directing the flow of fluid into a subterranean formation in a desired direction.
