    摘要: A composition is provided for use in selectively plugging waterrich strata of a subterranean formation so that the oil-to-water ratio of production will be increased, said composition including in preferred embodiments an aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, chromium potassium sulfate, and orthocresol. Methods for selective plugging are provided which include injection of a selective plugging composition into subterranean formations having water-rich and oil-rich strata whereupon the material, after a significant period of time, assumes a much greater viscosity in the water-rich strata. Pretreatment and post-treatment options are provided for improving results under certain conditions.
