Relative permeability modifier (RPM) treatments are designed to reduce the quantity of water produced from the formation.
Reduce the water-oil ratio (WOR) of the produced fluids without significantly damaging the hydrocarbon-production potential of the zone.
Relative permeability modifier refers to any material capable of at least partially reducing the permeability of a subterranean formation to aqueous fluids without substantially reducing the permeability of the subterranean formation to hydrocarbons.
