An aqueous gellable composition for use to modify the permeability of high-permeability regions in petroleum reservoirs, wherein the aqueous gellable composition containing an organic, water-soluble polymer crosslinkable with chrome ion and a crosslinking and gel-retarding system definable by the formula: Cr (L) m.nL' L' being in form not complexed with chrome ion wherein: Cr is a trivalent chrome ion; L is an organic ligand consisting of a monocarboxylate or dicarboxylate ion, optionally bearing one or more amino or hydroxy functional group(s), in form complexed with chrome ion; is an organic ligand selected among malonic and ascorbic acids or when I' is salicylic acid, L is selected among: acetate, propionate, butyrate, malonate, succinate, glutarate, adipate, glycolate, lactate, alpha-hydroxybutyrate, ascorbate, tartrate, alpha-aminoacetate (glycine) and alpha-amino-beta- hydroxypropionate (serine), alpha-aminobutyrate, phthalate; in form complexed with chromium ion; has a value comprised within the range of from 1 to 3, depending on the nature of the ligand L; has a value comprised within the range of from 0.5 to 100; with the proviso that in the crosslinking and gel-retarding system, the ligand L is different from the ligand L'.
