Experimental characterization of colloidal silica gel for water conformance control in oil reservoirs
Abstract High water production in oil fields is an area of concern due to economic issues and borehole/wellhead damages. Colloidal gels can be a good alternative to polymers to address this as they can tolerate harsh oil reservoir conditions. A series of bottle tests with different silica and NaCl c...
