Abstract
Systems, compositions, and methods for reducing the production of water in subterranean formations having fractures or voids therein are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise: introducing a particulate material into a portion of a subterranean formation comprising one or more fractures or voids; and introducing a treatment fluid comprising a relative permeability modifier into the portion of the subterranean formation such that the permeability of the particulate material in the portion of the subterranean formation to water is reduced.
