The petroleum industry constantly seeks innovative solutions to maximize oil extraction efficiency, especially in mature fields where conventional methods are less effective. Polyacrylamide (PAM) has emerged as a vital polymer in this sector, particularly for enhancing oil recovery (EOR) through polymer flooding. As a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals, we understand the significant impact PAM has on the performance and economics of oilfield operations.

In Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), PAM's primary function is to increase the viscosity of injected water. This increased viscosity helps to improve the sweep efficiency of the injected fluid, pushing more oil towards production wells and reducing the preferential flow through high-permeability zones. By adjusting the rheology of the injected water, PAM ensures a more uniform displacement of oil from the reservoir, thereby increasing the overall recovery rate. Its effectiveness as an enhanced oil recovery polymer is well-documented, making it a preferred choice for operators.

Beyond EOR, PAM also serves critical roles as a drilling fluid additive. It helps to control the rheology of drilling muds, carrying cuttings to the surface, lubricating the drill bit, and preventing fluid loss into the formation. The shear stability and ability of PAM to maintain viscosity under harsh drilling conditions are crucial for operational efficiency and safety. Furthermore, PAM is utilized as a water shutoff agent, selectively reducing water permeability in formations to minimize water production and maintain reservoir energy. This precise control over fluid flow is key to optimizing oilfield production.

The selection of the appropriate PAM for oilfield applications is vital. Factors such as molecular weight, ionic degree, and stability in reservoir conditions (temperature, salinity) must be carefully considered. Our company provides a range of PAM products tailored to meet the diverse needs of the petroleum industry, ensuring optimal performance and value. We are committed to supplying high-quality PAM that drives efficiency and profitability in oil exploration and production.
