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