Water Shutt-off

Water Shutoff technology

  • Inject a limited amount of chemicals (cement , polymers , polymer gels , etc)
  • Chemicals reduce  water flow but not oil flow

The production of unwanted water in the exploitation of oil and gas wells is considered as a basic and important issue, because the production of unwanted water is one of the problems that will lead to excess operating costs

 

After knowing the source of produced water, one should take action to solve this problem. One of the methods used to deal with the problem of water production is the injection of polymer gels. In fact, the technology of injecting polymer gels can be considered as one of the methods of improving well-based production, which can be used to solve the problem of water production and also a lot of unwanted gas from the well, which has led to a decrease in oil production.

 

Excessive production of water usually leads to premature abandonment of oil wells and thus large oil reserves. It has been proven that the use of polymer gels are effective in solving this problem and increasing the rate of oil recovery
