Heterogeneity, Permeability ratio, Selective water plugging agent, Oil-soluble resin Abstract. In view of high heterogeneity and complicated oil-water relation of fault block oil reservoirs, conventional technology of water plugging and profile controlling cannot well adapt to it. An oil-in-water emulsion for selective water plugging was designed by using emulsified heavy oil for reference and the aim was to improve the injection ability and plugging strength. The single core flooding results indicated that its breakthrough pressure gradient >26MPa/m,water plugging rate >97% after water flooding for 100 pore-volume. The parallels core flooding results indicated that it has good water flooding endurance than emulsified heavy oil, and can be used to the selective water plugging and profile controlling of heavy heterogeneous layers with the permeability ratio is no less than 7. Field application is successful.
