The invention provides a method for treating a subterranean formation
penetrated by a wellbore. The method comprises the steps of: (a)
introducing a composition through the wellbore into the subterranean
formation, wherein the composition comprises: (i) a solvent consisting
essentially of an aqueous dissolvable solvent comprising any solvent that
is at least 25% by weight soluble in water, wherein the solvent is from
about 90% to about 99.9% by weight of the composition; and (ii) a curable
resin, wherein the curable resin is from about 0.01% to about 10% by
weight of the composition; wherein the curable resin and the solvent are
mutually selected such that, for the ratio of the curable resin to the
solvent, the curable resin is soluble in the solvent; and (b) installing
a mechanical sand control device into the wellbore either before or after
introducing the composition into the wellbore.
