Abstract

See full text

An oil well producing water is treated to reduce the water cut by injecting through the well into the reservoir a composite slug comprising: a relatively small volume of water-wetting agent in liquid form, said agent being adapted to modify the reservoir matrix to increase its water-wetted character; and a relatively large volume of non-condensable gas for further laterally extending the matrix surface modification.
