The oil and gas industry is a major consumer of advanced chemical solutions, and High Molecular Weight Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) is a prime example of such a critical material. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supplies APAM, a versatile polymer that significantly enhances efficiency in various oilfield operations, including drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

In drilling operations, APAM is incorporated into drilling fluids as a viscosifier and shale stabilizer. Its ability to increase the viscosity of the drilling fluid is crucial for effectively carrying rock cuttings from the drill bit to the surface. Additionally, APAM helps to maintain the integrity of the borehole by preventing shale swelling and sloughing. This contributes to smoother drilling operations, reduced downtime, and improved safety.

Hydraulic fracturing, a key technique for extracting oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs, also relies heavily on polymers like APAM. In this application, APAM acts as a friction reducer. When pumped through pipelines and downhole, the long polymer chains align with the flow, significantly reducing turbulent energy loss. This means less pressure is required to pump the fracturing fluid, leading to lower operational costs and increased pumping efficiency. By reducing friction, APAM enables operators to pump fracturing fluids more effectively, ensuring successful reservoir stimulation.

Perhaps one of the most impactful applications of APAM in the oilfield is in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). As conventional oil reservoirs deplete, EOR techniques are employed to extract remaining oil. Polymer flooding, using APAM, is a widely adopted EOR method. APAM significantly increases the viscosity of the injected water, improving the sweep efficiency of the water flood. This means the injected water can push more oil towards production wells, increasing the overall oil recovery rate from a reservoir. APAM's effectiveness in EOR is due to its high molecular weight and its ability to maintain viscosity under reservoir conditions.
