Polyacrylamide (PAM) can be used in drilling fluids. It has excellent thickening, drag reduction, lubrication and suspension properties, and can effectively improve the performance of drilling fluids.

For example, PAM is used as a thickener in drilling fluids to increase the viscosity and suspension of drilling fluids and prevent well wall collapse and wellbore filling. Or it can be used as a drag reducing agent to reduce the frictional resistance of drilling fluid and improve drilling efficiency.

Among other conveniences, polyacrylamide (PAM) can also treat wastewater generated by drilling. It can be said that PAM has a wide range of applications in oil drilling and provides important technical support for drilling operations.
