Abstract
Cryotropic gel-forming systems have been developed at the Institute of Petroleum Chemistry SB RAS in Tomsk, Russia. They are capable of generating gels at 0–20 °C, subsequently converting to cryogels during freezethaw cycles which exhibit high elasticity and adhesion to rock. Both laboratory and field experiments are reported here, including 2003–2004 pilot tests conducted to seal a leaking interval at the base of a dam at the Irelyakh hydrosystem, Stock Company “ALROSA„, Yakutia.
