Abstract <br /> <br /> <br /> Sand problems, serious production issues regarding sand production from reservoir with poor cementation and/or excessive pressure drawdown to the surface during development of oil and gas well, may be solved efficiently by use of resin. Despite resin’s capability in introducing highcompressive strength to the reservoir to prevent sand production, its tendency to block the pores previously been used as the liquid flow path may cause permeability reduction. Therefore,a good resin composition should be determined in which the permeability reduction should be minimized while the compressive strength generated should be as high as possible. This final assignment examines a good composition of resin commonly used by the petroleum industry named Epoxy using laboratory experimental approach. <br /> <br /> <br /> Core flooding using loose sand as an effort to mimic unconsolidated sand reservoir behavior to the resin injection, hopefully this research may generate a gooduse of resin which is likely to be applicable to the reservoir condition. A thorough research concerning Epoxy concentration and time of precipitation sensitivity to permeability reduction and compressive strength value results in 18 hours time of precipitation (solidification time before post-flushing), 50% concentration of hardener and 50% of Epoxyin volume should be chosen as a good Epoxy condition in which it leads to minimum permeability reduction and tolerable compressive strength.
