ABSTRACT:
A novel cross-linked polymer is obtained by cross-linking polyvinyl alcohol with a cross-linking agent which is a mixture of a phenolic component and an aldehyde or a mixture of a naphtholic component and an aldehyde. The resulting polymer is exceptionally thermally stable and, therefore, can be used as an effective permeability control agent in all enhanced oil recovery operations, including steam flooding.
