As we all know, in oil and natural gas extraction, fracturing technology has always been an important oil and gas extraction method and is widely used in the fields of oil drilling and production. As an additive in fracturing fluid, PAM (polyacrylamide) plays a key role in improving the performance of fracturing fluid and drilling efficiency.
As the leader of polyacrylamide (PAM) suppliers in China, we hope to introduce the application of PAM in fracturing fluids and its important contribution to oil drilling efficiency through this article.
If you have demand for industrial-grade polyacrylamide (PAM) products, whether it is PAM for drilling fluids, PAM for water treatment, PAM for papermaking, or PAM for mining, you can contact us. We can provide polyacrylamide globally. (PAM) products and provide free sample testing.
1. Understand polyacrylamide (PAM)
PAM is a water-soluble polymer that has the unique effect of increasing the viscosity of water or promoting the flocculation of particles present in the water. It can also reduce the frictional resistance between liquids.
Types of PAM: According to different ionic properties, there are three types of PAM: anionic PAM, cationic PAM and non-ionic PAM.
Application of PAM: PAM is widely used in water treatment, oil mining, sludge dehydration, paper making, textile, sugar making, coal washing, incense making and other fields.
2. The importance of fracturing fluid
The main purpose of fracturing fluid is to form cracks or expand existing cracks in rock formations, thereby increasing the permeability of the formation and increasing oil or natural gas production. After fracturing fluid is injected into the formation, it is subjected to high pressure, causing fractures in the formation. These fractures allow oil and gas to flow to the wellhead through larger channels, thereby increasing production.
3. The role of PAM in fracturing fluid
Viscosity regulator: PAM can increase the viscosity of the fracturing fluid, improve its sand-carrying capacity in the formation, and ensure the formation and expansion of fractures.
Fluidity improver: PAM can improve the fluidity of fracturing fluid, reduce friction, ensure smooth injection of fluid into the formation, and form uniform fractures.
Hydrogel-forming agent: PAM forms a stable gel structure in water, which helps maintain the stability of the fracturing fluid and prevent water loss and fracture closure.
4. Advantages of PAM
PAM has a variety of effects as a fracturing fluid additive. PAM fracturing fluid has the advantages of rock stability, viscosity, friction reduction, fluid loss control and lubrication. It is efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly.
Finally, we also need to remind you that there are many polyacrylamide (PAM) suppliers on the market. Please choose your supplier carefully to ensure that you can carry out your work efficiently in the future. We recommend that you contact our business personnel when choosing wholesale polyacrylamide (PAM) products. We will cooperate with you to conduct sample testing and give you timely feedback in subsequent services. And we will provide preferential prices to protect your rights and interests.
