The oil and gas industry constantly seeks innovative solutions to maximize resource extraction and optimize operational efficiency. Polyacrylamide (PAM), particularly its anionic and cationic forms, plays a crucial role in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and various other oilfield applications, acting as a viscosity modifier, friction reducer, and bridging agent. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-performance chemicals, we are committed to providing the oil and gas sector with reliable PAM solutions.

Polyacrylamide in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR):

EOR techniques aim to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from a reservoir beyond primary and secondary recovery methods. PAM is extensively used in polymer flooding, a key EOR strategy, due to its ability to significantly increase the viscosity of injected water. This heightened viscosity improves the sweep efficiency of the injected fluid, allowing it to displace more oil from the reservoir rock. Key benefits of PAM in EOR include:

  • Improved Sweep Efficiency: By increasing water viscosity, PAM reduces the mobility ratio between the injected fluid and the reservoir oil, preventing 'fingering' (where injected water bypasses oil) and ensuring more uniform oil displacement.
  • Reduced Water Production: PAM helps to control water channeling through high-permeability zones, reducing the amount of water produced and improving the oil-to-water ratio.
  • Shear and Thermal Stability: Modern PAM formulations are designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in oil reservoirs, including high temperatures and shear rates, ensuring their effectiveness throughout the injection process.

Other Oilfield Applications of PAM:

  • Friction Reducers: In hydraulic fracturing operations, PAM acts as a friction reducer, minimizing pressure drops during fluid injection and allowing for higher pumping rates with less energy consumption. This is particularly important in unconventional gas extraction.
  • Drilling Fluids: PAM is incorporated into drilling fluids to improve rheological properties, enhance lubrication, and aid in the suspension and removal of drilled cuttings. It also helps to stabilize shale formations, preventing borehole collapse.
  • Water Plugging and Profile Modification: PAM can be used to selectively block high-permeability zones in a reservoir, diverting injected fluids towards less-swept oil-bearing zones, thereby improving overall oil recovery.
