NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a leading supplier of specialized chemicals that drive efficiency and performance in the demanding oil and gas industry. High molecular weight Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) is one such critical product, finding extensive use in enhancing oil recovery, improving drilling fluid properties, and managing water used in fracturing operations. Its unique rheological and flocculating properties make it an indispensable tool for maximizing hydrocarbon extraction while minimizing operational costs and environmental impact.

In the realm of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), particularly polymer flooding, APAM plays a pivotal role. By injecting APAM solutions into oil reservoirs, operators can significantly increase the viscosity of the injected water. This higher viscosity improves the sweep efficiency of the water flood, meaning it can displace oil more effectively from reservoir pores. The polymer's ability to maintain its structure and viscosity under reservoir conditions is key to pushing more trapped oil towards production wells, thereby increasing the overall recovery rate from mature fields. The high molecular weight of our APAM ensures robust viscosity enhancement, leading to superior oil displacement.

During hydraulic fracturing operations, large volumes of water are pumped into wells at high pressures to fracture rock formations and release oil and gas. Friction created by the turbulent flow of these fluids through pipes and formations can be substantial, requiring significant energy input and potentially limiting pumping rates. APAM acts as a highly effective friction reducer in these fracturing fluids. Its long polymer chains align with the flow, dampening turbulence and significantly reducing frictional pressure losses. This allows for higher pumping rates with less energy, making fracturing operations more efficient and cost-effective. Our oilfield chemicals are designed to perform under extreme conditions, ensuring reliable friction reduction.

Furthermore, APAM is utilized in drilling fluids to enhance their performance. Drilling fluids, or muds, are essential for lubricating the drill bit, cooling the borehole, and carrying rock cuttings to the surface. APAM can be incorporated to improve the viscosity and suspension properties of the drilling fluid, ensuring that cuttings are effectively lifted and do not settle when circulation stops. It can also contribute to the formation of a stable filter cake on the borehole wall, preventing fluid loss into the formation and maintaining borehole integrity. The precise control of rheology afforded by APAM is vital for efficient and safe drilling operations.

The use of APAM in produced water treatment and flowback water management is also growing. These water streams, often generated during oil and gas extraction, can contain suspended solids and oil droplets. APAM can be used as a flocculant to help separate these contaminants, facilitating water recycling for fracturing operations or safe disposal. This aligns with the industry's increasing focus on water conservation and responsible wastewater management.
