SUBTERRANEAN WATER CONTROL USING SWELLABLE ELASTOMERIC PARTICLES

Methods of stimulating a hydrocarbon reservoir are described herein. An aqueous dispersion of elastomeric particles that swell when in contact with water, each particle having a size in a range from about 10 µm to about 1,000 µm, is pumped into the reservoir via a well, and the elastomeric particles...

Zusammenfassung:Methods of stimulating a hydrocarbon reservoir are described herein. An aqueous dispersion of elastomeric particles that swell when in contact with water, each particle having a size in a range from about 10 µm to about 1,000 µm, is pumped into the reservoir via a well, and the elastomeric particles are allowed to swell before starting production from the well.
