Abstract

Gellable compositions containing: PA1 (a) water; PA1 (b) a water-soluble organic polymer bearing special chelating functional groups; PA1 (c) a multi-valent metal ion capable of causing the polymer to crosslink, are useful to recover oil from a oil field. Said compositions make it possible gels to be obtained which are endowed with improved physical properties and show a higher stability under the conditions prevailing in the oil field.
