  • What is nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM)?
  • Nonionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM): NPAM is a high-molecular-weight polymer or polyelectrolyte with polar groups that enable it to adsorb suspended solid particles in water, forming larger flocs. It accelerates particle settling in suspensions, resulting in improved solution clarity and enhanced filtration.
  • Can nonionic polyacrylamide be used as a gel fracturing fluid?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) with controlled molecular weight was successfully synthesized as a gel fracturing fluid by aqueous solution polymerization.
  • Where did NPAM and phenolic resin cross-linker come from?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) and phenolic resin cross-linker were purchased from Yuguang Co. Ltd., China. The hydrolysis degree and average molecular weight of NPAM were 3.31% and 9,650,000 g/mol, respectively. The low salinity of brine (492.08 mg/L) was used in all experiments.
  • How to control NPAM molecular weight?
  • The NPAM molecular weight can be controlled by adjusting these factors. The decisive factor is the acrylamide concentration, whereas the initiator concentration and feeding temperature are secondary factors. These synthetic NPAMs can be crosslinked with zirconium acetate to produce a gel fracturing fluid for use in low permeability oil reservoirs.
