  "term": "Diversion",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "The technique of temporarily blocking off high-permeability or previously treated zones within a reservoir to redirect treatment fluids into other, less permeable target intervals. This is achieved by pumping diverting agents, such as rock salt, benzoic acid flakes, or specialized polymers, that create a temporary seal. Unlike permanent zonal isolation, these agents are designed to dissolve or degrade after the treatment, restoring flow to the diverted zones.",
