Abstract:Nano-elastic microspheres are particle-absorbent polymers that can be applied in plugging water. They plug pores and throats, reducing the damage from water invasion. The plug effect and flow mechanism of nano-elastic microspheres during water invasion were investigated in this paper through laboratory experiments. The results of the plugging experiments show that the nano-elastic microspheres had a higher plugging rate and formed physical plugs in the aquiferous region, thus preventing water invasion.
