The present invention relates to increasing the permeability of a subterranean
formation by forming a resinous mass having conductive channels through which fluids
can be produced in the formation. Some embodiments of the present invention provide
methods of creating a permeable resinous mass comprising the steps of selecting
an interval along a well bore; providing a resin slurry comprising an acid curable
resin, filler, and degradable material; placing the resin slurry into the selected
interval; and, activating the acid curable resin using an activator wherein the
activation causes the acid curable resin to substantially cure, the degradable
material to substantially degrade, and forms the permeable resinous mass.
