Solving Excess Water Production Problems in Productive Formation

Abstract

One of the important developments of the Russian Federation national economy is a petroleum resource. Water shut off techniques are used in the oilfields to avoid the massive water production. We describe a technology for solving excess water production problems focusing on the new gel-based fluid which can be effectively applied for water shutoff. We study the effect of the gel-based fluid solution experimentally to show the feasibility of its treatment the in the near wellbore region to solve the excess water production problem.
