“…Many proposed and commercially available preformed gels are comprised of synthetic polymer-based polyacrylamide derivatives materials [7][8][9][10][11], crosslinked with organic agents such as N,N ′ -methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) [12], polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGd) [13], divinylbenzene (DVB) [14], 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate [15], or inorganic crosslinkers like chromium [16], potassium [17], and aluminum [18]. Additionally, various monomers like styrene sulfonate [19] and dimethyldiallylammonium chloride [20], as well as additives like clay, silica, and graphene [21,22], are introduced into the formulation to enhance swelling, elevate resistance to high temperatures, and modulate strength.…”

To address challenges associated with excessive water production in mature oil reservoirs, this study introduces a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based material as a novel preformed particle gel (PPG) designed to plug excessive water pathways and redistribute the subsequent injected water toward unswept zones. Through microwave-assisted grafting copolymerization of CMC with acrylamide (AM), we successfully generated multi-sized dry particles within the range of 250–800 µm. Comprehensive analyses, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), have confirmed the chemical composition and morphology of the resulting carboxymethyl cellulose-grafted crosslinked polyacrylamide (CMC/PAMBA). Swelling kinetics and rheology tests were conducted to confirm the ability of this novel PPG system to perform at different reservoir conditions. The results of core flooding experiments showed that the CMC/PAMBA PPG is capable of plugging open fractures with a water breakthrough pressure gradient of up to 144 psi/ft. This preformed particle gel (PPG) system was designed specifically for application in Middle East reservoirs, which are distinguished by high salinity and elevated temperature levels. This PPG system is able to swell up to 10 times its original size in seawater and maintain a strength of about 1300 Pa at a temperature of 80 °C. Further optimization is conceivable to enhance injection efficiency and achieve superior plugging outcomes.

“…However, there is a problem that the injected polymer solutions seek preferential pathways and pass through layers with high permeability, which contributes to high water content (Amaral CNR et al, 2019). Therefore, the primary goal is to address the problem of channel flooding, as it leads to problems such as channel corrosion and a reduction in oil production, among others (Sth´efany et al, 2022). Most hydrogel systems used to enhance oil recovery are limited in their application to high temperature, acidity, and salinity (Pereira Kaio et al, 2020).…”

“…Preformed particle gel (PPG) is a polymer particle of cross-linked superabsorbents (hydrogels) that have the ability to swell in brine [2]. The synthetic PPG protocol has been considered previously in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8]. PPG often represents composite polymeric materials reinforced with clay minerals and possesses unique properties that make it a promising material for the conformance control of oil wells.…”

Preformed particle gels (PPGs) based on acrylamide (AAm), (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (APTAC), and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid sodium salt (AMPS) were synthesized via conventional free radical copolymerization. The resultant PPGs of various compositions were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, TG and DT analysis, and mechanical testing. The swelling behavior of PPGs depending on ionic strength, temperature, degree of crosslinking, and pH was also studied. The obtained results show that the swelling mechanism of PPGs is mainly due to the diffusion of the solvent. The mechanical properties of PPGs were improved by creating a composite polymer network by adding the clay mineral (bentonite) to the reaction mixture of monomers, which also makes it possible to control the Young’s modulus and the swelling degree of the samples.
