ABSTRACT:
A process for selectively reducing the permeability of a subterranean formation penetrated by a well bore and having an injection surface plugged by crosslinked dry polymer. The process comprises the sequential injection of an aqueous solution containing an oxidizing agent, an aqueous spacer medium, and an aqueous solution having at least one dry polymer dissolved therein. Sequential injection of these aqueous solutions can be repeated to achieve the desired degree of injectivity and permeability reduction.
