Physical modeling of in-depth fluid diversion by “gel dam” placed with a horizontal well

Ineffective cycling of injected water in high permeability zones during water flooding processes can be an issue in positive rhythm reservoirs. The “gel dam” in-depth fluid diversion technique is proposed to ameliorate this problem. The technique involves the injection of gel by horizontal wells dri...
