The Oil & Gas industry demands robust chemical solutions to optimize extraction processes, improve efficiency, and reduce operational costs. Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high-performance polymer that has become indispensable in various segments of this sector, particularly in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), friction reduction in hydraulic fracturing, and as a component in drilling fluids.

As a leading supplier of PAM chemicals for oilfield applications, we understand the critical performance requirements. PAM's unique properties, such as its high molecular weight and ability to modify fluid rheology, make it exceptionally valuable. The specific form of PAM—often anionic due to its stability in saline environments and resistance to shear—is tailored to meet the rigorous conditions encountered in oilfield operations.

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Applications

In EOR, PAM is injected into reservoirs to increase the viscosity of the displacing fluid (typically water). This improved viscosity helps sweep more oil towards production wells, significantly boosting recovery rates beyond conventional methods. The ability of PAM to maintain its viscosity under reservoir conditions is key to its success in EOR projects. Our expertise ensures you receive PAM grades optimized for high temperature, high salinity, and shear stability.

Friction Reduction in Hydraulic Fracturing

Hydraulic fracturing, a vital technique for extracting oil and natural gas, involves pumping large volumes of fluid at high pressure. PAM is widely used as a friction reducer in these fluids. By minimizing frictional losses as the fluid flows through pipes and the wellbore, PAM reduces pumping energy requirements and increases pumping efficiency. This application is critical for cost-effective fracturing operations. We supply high-performance PAM specifically designed for these demanding conditions.

Drilling Fluids and Other Oilfield Uses

PAM also finds application in drilling fluids, where it functions as a shale inhibitor, viscosity modifier, and fluid loss control agent. Its ability to stabilize boreholes and control fluid properties under varying conditions contributes to safer and more efficient drilling operations. Additionally, PAM is used in oil sands processing and other related activities.
