Abstract
A system and method for a treatment of a subterranean formation. The treatment may include pumping a water shut-off material into a wellbore and to a target zone in the subterranean formation. The treatment may also include pumping a silicate to the target zone behind the water shut-off material, thereby forming a layer of silicate between the water shut-off material and the wellbore. An energy source may be directed to the layer of silicate until the layer of silicate solidifies to yield a solid barrier between the water shut-off material and the wellbore.
