  • Can hydrolyzed polyacrylamide be degraded?
  • For oil field applications, partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) is the most widely used polymer. HPAM must maintain high viscosity to achieve good oil recovery. In reality, however, polymers can be severely degraded by shearing and heat in the underground environment. This phenomenon is studied in this paper.
  • What is partial hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)?
  • Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) is a water-soluble polymer material used in oil fields [ 18, 19 ]. It usually has a linear structure with high molecular weight [ 20] and is obtained by partial hydrolysis of PAM or by copolymerization of sodium acrylate with acrylamide [ 21 ].
  • Which polymers are used in oil fields?
  • Polymers, such as partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), are widely used in oil fields to enhance or improve the recovery of crude oil from the reservoirs. It works by increasing the viscosity of the injected water, thus improving its mobility and oil recovery.
  • Can silica nanoparticles improve rheological properties of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide?
  • This work aims to improve the rheological properties of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) for enhanced oil recovery by using silica (or silicon dioxide, SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs). Novel aq...
