This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17551946 titled 'METHODS TO USE WATER SHUTOFF MATERIAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING ALKALINE NANOSILICA DISPERSION AND SODIUM BICARBONATE IN DOWNHOLE CONDITIONS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for reducing water production in a wellbore. This is achieved by introducing an alkaline nanosilica dispersion and a sodium bicarbonate activator to the wellbore, which then forms a gelled solid in the water producing zone. This solid helps to reduce water production in the wellbore.

* Method for reducing water production in a wellbore
* Introduces alkaline nanosilica dispersion to the wellbore
* Alkaline nanosilica dispersion contacts water producing zone
* Introduces sodium bicarbonate activator to the wellbore
* Sodium bicarbonate activator contacts alkaline nanosilica dispersion in water producing zone
* Forms gelled solid from water shutoff material in water producing zone
* Gelled solid reduces water production in the wellbore

== Potential Applications ==
* Oil and gas industry
* Wellbore operations
* Water management in wells

== Problems Solved ==
* Excessive water production in wellbores
* Water interfering with oil and gas production
* Costly and time-consuming water control methods

== Benefits ==
* Reduces water production in wellbores
* Improves oil and gas production efficiency
* Cost-effective and efficient water control method


==Original Abstract Submitted==

This disclosure relates a method of reducing water production in a wellbore, which may include introducing an alkaline nanosilica dispersion to the wellbore such that it contacts a water producing zone of the wellbore, introducing a sodium bicarbonate activator to the wellbore such that it contacts the alkaline nanosilica dispersion in the water producing zone, and forming a gelled solid from the water shutoff material in the water producing zone, thereby reducing water production in the wellbore.
