  • What is partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA)?
  • Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) is a widely used polymer in the oil and gas industry due to its lesser cost and good water solubility. PHPA is used as a functional additive in water-based drilling fluids. The PHPA mud system stabilizes shale formations and influences cuttings and wellbore stability.
  • Which drilling fluid is compatible with PHPA?
  • It is compatible with most of the drilling fluid products, biopolymers, PAC, CMC. It maintains borehole stability by preventing shale swelling and erosion. PHPA maintains viscosity in solid free drilling fluid. As a Bentonite extender in low solids non-dispersed mud, it can be used along with small addition of Bentonite to suspend weight material.
  • Is PHPA a water soluble polymer?
  • PHPA is a co-polymer of anionic character and high molecular weight. It is a water-soluble polymer, which is primarily used as a highly efficient fluid loss reducer, Viscosifier and protective colloid for shale’s and cutting in fresh water, calcium, sodium brines and KCL mud systems.
  • How does PHPA affect fluid rheology?
  • The introduction of higher molecular weight synthetic polymers typified by partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide (PHPA) allowed the same effect on fluid rheology to be achieved at much lower additive concentrations, a major practical advantage.
