In the demanding world of oil and gas exploration, maximizing recovery from existing reservoirs is a critical challenge. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques, particularly polymer flooding, have become vital for increasing oil extraction efficiency. Polyacrylamide (PAM), especially high molecular weight variants, is a key polymer utilized in these advanced operations. As a leading supplier of specialized polymers, we provide high-performance polyacrylamide solutions for the oilfield industry.

Polyacrylamide: A Critical Component in Enhanced Oil Recovery

Polyacrylamide's effectiveness in EOR stems from its unique rheological properties:

  • Viscosity Modification: When injected into oil reservoirs, PAM significantly increases the viscosity of the injection water. This improved viscosity helps to sweep more oil towards production wells, reducing the mobility ratio between the injected fluid and the crude oil, thereby increasing oil displacement efficiency.
  • Friction Reduction: PAM acts as a friction reducer, minimizing energy loss due to friction as fluids are pumped through wells and pipelines. This translates to reduced pumping costs and improved operational efficiency.
  • Improved Sweep Efficiency: By controlling water mobility and reducing viscous fingering, PAM helps to ensure a more uniform sweep of the reservoir, reaching oil that would otherwise be left behind.

Applications in Oilfield Operations

Our range of polyacrylamide products is utilized across various stages of oilfield operations, including:

  • Polymer Flooding: The primary application for increasing oil recovery rates in mature reservoirs.
  • Drilling Fluids: As a shale stabilizer and viscosity modifier to improve drilling performance and wellbore stability.
  • Fracturing Fluids: Used as a friction reducer and sand-carrying agent in hydraulic fracturing operations.
  • Water Plugging and Profile Control: Applied to redirect water flow towards oil-bearing zones.

When selecting polyacrylamide for EOR, factors like molecular weight, tolerance to reservoir conditions (salinity, temperature, shear), and the presence of specific ions are crucial. We offer a range of PAM grades tailored to meet the stringent requirements of the oil and gas sector, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
