The oil and gas industry demands high-performance chemicals to optimize extraction processes and ensure operational efficiency. Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a versatile polymer with critical applications in both Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and hydraulic fracturing, primarily for its ability to increase viscosity and reduce friction. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we provide specialized PAM grades that meet the rigorous demands of this sector. Understanding how to buy the right PAM is key to unlocking greater efficiency.

In Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), PAM is injected into oil reservoirs to increase the viscosity of the displacing fluid (water). This improved viscosity enhances sweep efficiency, allowing more oil to be pushed towards production wells, thereby increasing overall recovery rates. The effectiveness of PAM in EOR is directly linked to its molecular weight and resistance to shear and salinity, characteristics we carefully engineer into our products.

In hydraulic fracturing, PAM serves as a friction reducer. When pumped at high pressure, PAM solutions significantly reduce frictional pressure losses along the wellbore and within the fracturing fluid. This allows for higher pumping rates with lower energy input, or alternatively, higher injection pressures for deeper stimulation. The choice of PAM for friction reduction depends on factors like water salinity and the desired rheological properties.

Key Advantages of PAM in Oil & Gas Operations

  • Increased Oil Recovery: In EOR applications, our specialized PAM grades boost water viscosity, leading to higher oil displacement efficiency and greater ultimate recovery.
  • Reduced Pumping Costs: As a friction reducer, PAM lowers the energy required for fluid pumping in hydraulic fracturing, resulting in significant operational cost savings.
  • Performance in Challenging Conditions: We offer PAM formulations that are stable under the high-temperature, high-salinity, and high-shear conditions often encountered in oilfield operations.
  • Reliable Supply: As a global supplier, we ensure a consistent and dependable supply of high-quality PAM to meet the continuous demands of the oil and gas sector. We offer competitive prices for bulk orders.
