The present invention relates to subterranean treatment fluids, and more
particularly, the present invention relates to subterranean treatment
fluids comprising relative permeability modifiers and methods for using
such subterranean treatment fluids in subterranean operations to reduce
the production of water from and stimulate hydrocarbon production in a
subterranean formation. In certain embodiments, the methods of the
present invention generally comprise the steps of providing a
permeability-modifying aqueous treatment fluid comprising a relative
permeability modifier and contacting a subterranean formation with the
permeability-modifying aqueous treatment fluid. Optionally, the
permeability-modifying aqueous treatment fluid may be injected in the
subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to create or enhance at
least one fracture therein. In another embodiment, the relative
permeability modifier may be provided by appropriate reaction in situ.
