  • What is a friction reducer (polyacrylamide)?
  • Due to the large volumes of water used, a friction reducer (polyacrylamide) is added to the fluid package to reduce the pumping energy required for the operation. The presence of the friction-reducing polymer (polyacrylamide) can reduce the friction loss and required pressures by as much as 60%.
  • What type of friction reducer is used in hydraulic fracturing?
  • In hydraulic fracturing fluids, high molecular weight (normally over 10 6 Da) polyacrylamide (PAM) (long chain polymer, linear structure) is the most commonly applied friction reducer with high water solubility and good thermal stability ( Xiong et al., 2018a; Yang et al., 2019 ).
  • How to develop polyacrylamide inverse emulsion friction reducers?
  • Probably, the most critical factor in developing polyacrylamide inverse emulsion friction reducers is the quality of the water used in the operation. The simplest situation consists of the use of freshwater for the make down of the friction reducer. In these situations, off-the-shelf emulsion products can be used.
