Abstract:Polymer gels is an effective method for water shut-off (WSO) application in sandstone oil reservoirs having high water cuts. WSO application can extend the economic life of the field once the undesired water production is minimized. A novel polymer gel was developed for water shut-off applications that extend the limitations of the current available materials for sandstone formation.
The new developed system offers chemical bonding of an organically crosslinked polymer gel to the sandstone rock … Show more
