| Annotation: |
This paper addresses water production in marginal/stripper wells by advancing research on SPI gel systems, which harden downhole, for casing leak repair and water conformance issues. If perfected, this new gel technology will prove essential for extending the life of marginal wells in an economical way by effectively and efficiently sealing casing leaks. |
