Selective Zonal Isolation in Horizontal Wells Using Colloidal Nanosilica.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Water production remains a significant challenge in the oil and gas industry, as it can severely impact operational efficiency and economic feasibility. Excessive water production not only reduces oil recovery but also complicates field development. This study presents the development and field application of a novel in-house nanosilica fluid system specifically designed to mitigate water production in oil wells. Through comprehensive laboratory testing and field adaptation, key parameters such as activator concentration, temperature, gelation time, and pumping rates were optimized to achieve maximum efficiency. The scientific value of this work lies in its innovative use of nanosilica to provide a more controlled and adaptable solution to water management challenges, offering distinct advantages over traditional methods. Field results demonstrated a substantial reduction in water production and enhanced oil output, validating the nanosilica system's effectiveness. This approach reduces operational risks and costs and eliminates post-treatment complications, positioning nanosilica as a promising and flexible tool in water shutoff applications.
