The present invention relates to methods useful during sand control
operations and, more particularly, to using water-soluble relative
permeability modifiers that are useful for controlling fluid loss during
sand control operations. In one embodiment, the present invention
provides a method of providing fluid loss control during sand control
operations comprising introducing a fluid that comprises a water-soluble
relative permeability modifier into a well bore; and stabilizing
unconsolidated formation particulates in a section of a subterranean
formation penetrated by the well bore. In other embodiments, the present
invention provides methods of providing fluid loss control during sand
control operations and methods of reducing fluid loss from carrier fluids
used in sand control operations.
