To achieve in-depth proile control of injection water and improve oil recovery, a new proile control agent, termed as dispersed particle gel (DPG), has been developed and reported. In this paper, the morphology of DPG and the factors that inluence its morphology are systematically investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). he AFM studies show that DPG is composed of small pseudospherical particles and that their sizes can be controlled by adjusting the shearing rate, the initia
