Abstract:
A method of enhancing oil recovery by use of conformance control involves the provision of a plugging material which is designed to be formed within an area of high-permeability in preference to an area of low permeability in order that subsequent water, gas or chemical flooding can enhance oil recovery from the area/region of low permeability.
