The article explores the efficiency of water shutoff operations in oil production wells from the viewpoint of its impact on oil recovery. Displacement characteristics are proposed as a tool for evaluat9ing the efficiency of such operations. It is demonstrated that at the late development stages water shutoff operations should be performed and utilized as a means of controlling field development and as an enhanced oil recovery technique.
