Polymer Gels Made with Functionalized Organo-Silica Nanomaterials for Conformance Control

Deep placement of gel in waterflooded hydrocarbon reservoirs may block channels with high water flow and may divert the water into other parts of the reservoir, resulting in higher oil production. In order to get the gel constituents to the right reservoir depths, a delay in the gelling time in the...
