POLYMERIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR USE IN WELL APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to improved methods and compositions for performing well completion or remedial procedures in subterranean zones having temperatures below about 70.degree.F or above about 170.degree.F. The methods basically comprise the steps of introducing into the zone an aqueous solution of a polymerizable monomer, a polymerization initiator and a low temperature polymerization activator or a high temperature polymerization inhibitor. Thereafter, the polymerizable monomer is allowed to polymerize in the zone.
