Compositions and methods of reducing a flow of aqueous liquids through a subterranean formation are provided. The compositions and methods are used for water control. The compositions include a water control additive that is prepared by reacting a soluble sodium silicate and a hydrolysable organosilane compound to produce silanol that reacts and forms a bond with the formation thereby producing a binding polysiloxane.

Method of using sodium silicate in treatment of subterranean formation for water control

A fluid flow model is comprised of one cross-flow style core holder and a multitude of standard style core holders, all connected by a concurrent combination of serial and parallel flow paths. The sum of these flow paths yields a fluid flow model that closely approximates a small radial slice of a conventional reservoir. The fluid flow model has particular applicability to estimate the requisite treatment fluid for use in acidizing as well as water control methods.
