Abstract
A polymer gel composition for treating an aqueous zone of a subterranean formation may include a base polymer, a cross-linking agent, and an adsorption system. The adsorption system may include one or more silane compounds or a combination of silane compounds and silicates. The adsorption system may improve bonding of the polymer gel composition to the pore surfaces of the rock in the aqueous zone. A method of treating an aqueous zone of a subterranean formation may include injecting the polymer gel composition into the aqueous zone of the formation and allowing the polymer gel composition to cure to form a cross-linked polymer gel matrix that provides a barrier that reduces or prevents the flow of aqueous materials from the aqueous zone to the wellbore.
