ABSTRACT:
A method and use for a dry composition comprising a mixture of water-soluble polymer and an aluminum citrate preparation is disclosed. The polymer is capable of cross-linking in the presence of water and aluminum ions. Any water-soluble polymer known to the art is suitable. Cross-linked polymer forms a gel in highly permeable, watered-out regions of oil-containing rock, allowing for increased oil recovery and decreased water use and recycling.
