Methods of controlling fines migration in a well

1. A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, the method comprising:

introducing into the subterranean formation a treatment fluid comprising a carbonate producing agent, urea, and a cation source;

allowing a calcium carbonate precipitate to form, the carbonate precipitate comprising a cation from the cation source and having a water solubility of less than about 0.1 g/100 mL at 25° C. and atmospheric pressure; and

reducing or preventing the passage of formation particles from the subterranean formation into the wellbore while allowing passage of formation fluids from the subterranean formation into the wellbore,

wherein the carbonate producing agent comprises an enzyme, and the treatment fluid further comprises an enzyme stabilizer, the enzyme stabilizer comprising casein, albumin, powdered milk, whey protein, or bovine serum albumin, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a downhole operation comprising one or more of the following: a hydraulic fracturing operation; an acidizing treatment; a gravel packing operation; or a flooding operation.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein introducing the treatment fluid and the performing the downhole operation occur simultaneously or performing the downhole operation precedes introducing the treatment fluid.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a fluid-permeable pack from a plurality of particles in the subterranean formation by consolidating the particles with the carbonate precipitate,

the fluid-permeable pack having a permeability that reduces or prevents the passage of formation particles from the subterranean formation into the wellbore while allows passage of formation fluids from the subterranean formation into the wellbore.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the particles in the formation comprise sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete, silica, grass spheres, limestone, feldspar, ceramics, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising adjusting the permeability of the fluid-permeable pack by changing the concentration of one or more of the following components in the treatment fluid: the carbonate producing agent; the urea; or the cation source.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the fluid-permeable pack is disposed in a fracture created by a hydraulic fracturing operation.

8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising installing a screen device in the wellbore, wherein the fluid-permeable pack is disposed in an annular area between the exterior of the screen device and the interior of the wellbore.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carbonate producing agent further comprises a microbe.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein microbe is from a genus selected from Bacillus sp., Sporosarcina sp., Spoloactobacilus sp., Clostridium sp., Desulfotomaculum sp., or a combination thereof.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme comprises urease, amidase, carbonic anhydrase, glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate synthase, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cation ion source comprises calcium chloride, calcium bromide, calcium nitrate, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the treatment fluid further comprises a nutrient for the microbe.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying a shut-in period to allow the calcium carbonate precipitate to form.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme stabilizer comprises casein.
