Restriction of Water Production in Gas Wells Using Alcohol-Containing Polymer Solutions

IOR-03 RESTRICTION OF WATER PRODUCTION IN GAS WELLS USING ALCOHOL-CONTAINING POLYMER SOLUTIONS Abstract 1 Gas production from gas fields and underground gas storage is usually accompanied by substantial water production. The high water production and limitations of water liquidation jointly deteriorate the recovery efficiency and hamper maintaining an environmentally friendly production. Therefore during the past decades intensive R&D activity has been made to develop a viable well treatment method which may offer a reliable solution for the mentioned problem. The most promising procedure might be the injection of a salt-containing polymer solution into the wells utilizing the reversible swelling/shrinking properties
