Abstract
Many crosslinked gel treatments are currently available for injection profile modification in secondary oil recovery waterflood operations. The gels usually consist of a water-soluble polymer, such as polyacrylamide or polysaccharide, crosslinked with a metal ion (A13+, Cr3+, Zr4+) or organic compounds. Due to the large number of systems available and possible conditions which must be considered, a rapid testing procedure must be used to screen these systems on a timely basis.
