The oil and gas industry relies on advanced chemical solutions to optimize extraction processes and manage the considerable volumes of water involved. Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a key polymer utilized in various oilfield applications, including Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and the treatment of produced water and drilling wastewater. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides specialized polyacrylamide products designed for these demanding environments.

In Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations, polyacrylamide, particularly partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) which can have anionic characteristics, is injected into oil reservoirs. Its primary function is to increase the viscosity of the injected water, improving the sweep efficiency and pushing more oil towards production wells. This leads to a significant increase in the amount of oil that can be recovered from a reservoir. The performance of PAM in EOR is highly dependent on its molecular weight and shear stability, factors that NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. carefully controls in its product formulations.

Beyond EOR, polyacrylamide is indispensable for treating the complex water streams generated in oilfields. Produced water, often containing oil, suspended solids, and dissolved salts, requires rigorous treatment before disposal or reuse. APAM and other PAM types serve as effective flocculants and coagulants in these wastewater treatment processes. They aggregate oil droplets and suspended solids, facilitating their separation from the water. This makes APAM a critical component in achieving clean effluent standards for oilfield wastewater treatment. Its role as a sludge dewatering chemical agent for the sludge generated from these processes is also vital for volume reduction.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a leading water treatment polymer supplier that understands the specific challenges of the oilfield sector. We offer a range of polyacrylamides, including anionic and partially hydrolyzed variants, engineered for high performance under reservoir conditions and in complex wastewater streams. Our technical team can assist clients in selecting the optimal PAM grade based on reservoir characteristics, water salinity, temperature, and the specific requirements of the wastewater treatment system.

The use of polyacrylamide in the oilfield not only boosts oil recovery rates but also significantly contributes to more sustainable and environmentally responsible operations by enabling effective wastewater treatment. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing the oil and gas industry with innovative and reliable anionic polyacrylamide sludge dewatering and water management solutions that enhance efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
