Plugging mechanisms of polymer gel used for hydraulic fracture water shutoff

The performance of polymer gel to plug a hydraulic fracture is greatly affected by its distribution patterns and gelling effect. In this study, the migration of a gel plugging agent in a fracture and its plugging after gelling were investigated by physical simulation experiments. In addition, the di...
