  • 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 polymer is used to produce partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)?
  • PAM is used to produce partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), which is linear, anionic, water-soluble, stable, polymeric, and high molecular weight chain of acrylamide (C 3 H 5 NO) monomers (Bao et al., 2010; Braun et al., 2025; Liu et al., 2016; Xiong et al., 2018).
  • What is PHPA powder used for?
  • PHPA is a white granular powder, anionic in nature having a specific gravity of 1.25 to 1.40 and a bulk density of 40 to 46 lb/ft 3. PHPA influences cuttings and wellbore stability and enhances solids removal by flocculation. It also works when used in higher concentrations in salt muds such as KCl- or NaCl.
