	Most of the mining
method of domestic oilfield is waterflood development, thus the water content
in the mid and late water flooding would rise faster, and the oil recovery rate
would decline relatively more rapid. So it is very important to research
profile control agent for stabilizing oil production resin-type profile control
agent, and focus on researching the themal stability, shear resistance,
gelation time and gelation strength and other properties of this profile
control agent [1]. Finally, the best ratio for synthesizing the high
temperature resistant phenolic resin-type profile control agent was obtained.

Introduction</title><p>Currently, the profile control technology in oilfield appears some new trends. The major ones are mainly weak gel flooding technology, heavy oil thermal recovery wells high temperature profile control technology, deep/ul- tra-deep well profile control technology, the profile control techniques of injection polymer reservoirs etc. After years of development, two major categories of mechanical and chemical profile control technology have been formed. Correspondingly, the successful development of the eight categories of hundreds of species profile controls chemical agents [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47988-ref2">2</xref>] . Developed multiple machinery profile control column for the vertical well, deviated well and mechanical productive wells, support and improve the numerical simulation technology, profile control target screening technology and other seven sets of technology. In order to improve mining efficiency, waterflood development oilfield has made important contributions to carrying out the mechanism studies, conducted test study of microscopic and the physical model of magnetic resonance imaging, making deeper understanding of the profile control mechanism.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

The Gelation Time of High Temperature Resistant Phenolic Resin-Type Profile Control Agent</title><p>The gelation time of profile control agent is an important factor in directly affects the can proceed smoothly of construction site, and the application of more methods to determine the gelation time is by determining the change in the viscosity of profile control agent obtained [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47988-ref4">4</xref>] .

Measured gel viscosity with rotary viscometer often appear climbing pole, gel breaking and other phenomenons, lead to the determination of viscosity value exception after glue into <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>.</p></sec><sec id="s2_2_4"><title>2.2.4. The Shear Resistance of High Temperature Resistant Phenolic Resin-Type Profile Control Agent</title><p>The formulation of profile control agent in this experimental is selected from 0.2% polyacrylamide and 45% water-soluble phenolic resin, measured according to the method of the gelation strength of profile control agent and measured the gelation strength of had been cut and not cut profile control agent, thus evaluate the shear resistance.</p><p>From the data in <xref ref-type="table" rid="table4">Table 4</xref> to calculate the viscosity decreased rate is 15.2%, shows the shear resistance of high temperature resistant phenolic resin-type profile control agent is better of 130˚C, because the gel is formed network structure by polymer in solution to lock moisture, it formed with the loss of mobility. However, frequent shear cause the degradation of polymer and thus such a network structure, resulted in a decline in the gel strength of characterization dynamic viscosity.</p></sec></sec></sec><sec id="s3"><title>3.
