Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002967

A stimulation technique used to improve sweep efficiency in a reservoir by altering the flow profile of injected or produced fluids. This involves diverting fluids from high-permeability zones to lower-permeability zones, often through the injection of polymers, gels, or cements. The goal is to achieve more uniform fluid movement and increase overall recovery.
