Dynamic and static gelation behavior of phenol formaldehyde resin gel system in ampoule bottles and porous media

The dynamic and static gelation process in porous media of the phenol formaldehyde resin gel was studied for successful application in conformance control and water shutoff. Shear rate was the most important factor affecting the dynamic gelation in porous media. Compare to static gelation in ampoule bottles and in porous media, the dynamic gelation time in porous media was extended by 2–6 times. The ability of migration and plugging after dynamic gelation was controlled by system concentration. The porous media permeability was the key factor for dynamic gelling time and strength. The quantitative relationship equation was established between dynamic gelling strength and permeability to choose the appropriate permeability for polymer gel treatment.
