Anionic PAM

Anionic PAMs for Oil and Gas field Treatments

With Ultra-high molecular weight variants, eco-friendly modifications, and structural tuning capabilities, the Anionic PAM product line supports reliable polymer flooding operation outcomes across high permeability and low permeability reservoirs, as well as Hydraulic Fracturing operations.

These polymers work across diverse pH ranges, and harsh environments, all while reducing chemical consumption and improving throughput.

Key Features and Benefits

Here’s what makes PolyPAM’s Anionic PAM formulations trusted:

Versatile Structure Profiles

Available in linear, crosslinked, and hyperbranched forms for various viscosities and system needs.

Custom Molecular Design

Tailored polymers to match water chemistry, salinity, temperature, and process flow.

Improved High-Shear Resistance

Anionic PAM Copolymers exhibit resistance to high-shear and are well suitable for such applications.

Thermal and Chemical Stability

Anionic PAM Copolymer variants enhance performance in high salinity and high temperature environments.

Applications in Oil and Gas field Operations

  • Enhanced sweep efficiency
  • Improved mobility control
  • Reduced water cut
  • Increased oil recovery

Graph shows viscosity measurements (100 1/s shear rate) of Anionic PAM Copolymer and Hydrophobic Associative Terpolymer formulations in Sea Salt stored long-term in 80oC environment. Both formulations showed stable viscosity over the 60 days incubation period.

  • Superior friction reduction
  • High-viscosity generation
  • Stable fluid rheology
  • Efficient proppant transport

The injectivity test for PolyPAM formulation shows high flowrates without fluctuating pressure. The polymer uniform structure due to controlled polymerization ensures smooth flow, no pressure fluctuation, and well-maintained permeability without blocking (exhausting) the pores.

Frequently asked questions

1. What’s the difference between Anionic PAM and Cationic PAM?

Anionic PAM carries a negative charge, mainly used in enhancing oil & gas operations such as fracking and polymer flooding. Cationic PAM works best for flocculation.

2. Can Anionic PAM be used in saline or brine-rich waters?

Yes. The ATBS and AMPS anionic polymers maintain viscosity in high temperature and salinity environments making them ideal for EOR applications in challenging reservoirs.

3. How do low polydispersity polymers enhance performance?

Low polydispersity provides a uniform polymer architecture, free from small and large outliers that may expedite degradation or impede flow profiles.
