Abstract

A method of treating a reservoir penetrated by at least one well involves placing a consolidated solids pack into a permeable zone of rock in the reservoir. The consolidated solids pack has a reduced permeability to water and a reduced mobility in the permeable zone. For example, when placed in the permeable zone in connection with a water flooding operation, the consolidated solids pack diverts the injectant from the permeable zone to other less permeable zones of the reservoir that contain oil.
