  • Are polyacrylamide based friction reducers a slickwater hydraulic fracturing fluid?
  • Technol. 2018, 52, 1, 327–336 Polyacrylamide (PAM) based friction reducers are a primary ingredient of slickwater hydraulic fracturing fluids. Little is known regarding the fate of these polymers under downhole conditions, which could have important environmental impacts including decisions on strategies for reuse or treatment of flowback water.
  • Is polyacrylamide a major additive in slickwater fracturing fluid?
  • Here we demonstrate that fouling of microfiltration membranes by synthetic flowback water is mostly due to polyacrylamide (PAM),a major additive in slickwater fracturing fluids. A synthetic fracturing fluid was incubated with Marcellus Shale under HVHF conditions (80 ℃, 83 bar, 24 h) to generate synthetic flowback water.
  • Are polymers used in hydraulic fracturing?
  • The utilization and treatment of polymers were of interest to both academia and industry. In contemporary extraction operations, hydraulic fracturing (HF) stands as a key technology. Within this domain, polymers, ranging from natural polymers such as guar gum to synthetic counterparts such as PAM, assume critical significance 9.
