Two sand packs were filled with fine glass beads and quartz sand respectively.The characteristics of crosslinked polymer flowing through the sand packs as well as the influence of shear fracture of porous media on the in-depth profile modification of the weak gel generated from the crosslinked polymer were investigated.The results indicated that under the dynamic condition crosslinking reaction happened in both sand packs,and the weak gels in these two cases became small gel particles after water flooding.The differences were:the dynamic gelation time in the quartz sand pack was longer than that in the glass bead pack.Residual resistance factor(FRR)caused by the weak gel in the quartz sand pack was smaller than that in the glass bead pack.The weak gel became gel particles after being scoured by subsequent flood water.A weak gel with uniform apparent viscosity and sealing characteristics was generated in every part of the glass bead pack,which could not only move deeply into the sand pack but also seal the high capacity channels again when it reached the deep part.The weak gel performed in-depth profile modification in the glass bead pack,while in the quartz sand pack,the weak gel was concentrated with 100 cm from the entrance of the sand pack.When propelled by the subsequent flood water,the weak gel could move towards the deep part of the sand pack but then became tiny gel particles and could not effectively seal the high capacity channels there.The in-depth profile modification of the weak gel was very weak in the quartz sand pack.It was the shear fracture of porous media that mainly affected the properties and weakened the in-depth profile modification of the weak gel.
