Abstract

This paper is closely related to the crosslinkers used in gelling agents. Both physical crosslinking and chemical crosslinking are discussed. Crosslinkers are added to form intermolecular linkages in between the primary polymer chains to form a stable gel. Both gelling and plugging agents have similar aims---to minimize the permeability of a formation. With the producing water is becoming the big problem, crosslinkers are becoming more important.
