  • What are the different types of polyacrylamide polymer gels?
  • Based on their compositions and application conditions, polyacrylamide polymer gels can be classified into three types: in-situ monomer-based gel, in-situ polymer-based gels, and preformed particle gels. Initially, in-situ monomer gels which are mainly composed of acrylamide were developed for water shutoff.
  • Can polyacrylamide gels be used in harsh environments?
  • Organically cross-linked PAM-related system To apply gel systems in harsh environments such as those with high temperatures, high salinity, and high pH, Chang et al. synthesized a polyacrylamide gels based on the cross-linking reaction between phenolic compounds (e.g., phenol and resorcinol) and formaldehyde.
  • What is polyacrylamide polymer gel treatment?
  • They include polymer flooding, alkaline-surfactant flooding, foam flooding, gel treatments, and so on. Among these methods, polyacrylamide polymer gel treatment is a common and cost-effective method because the process can reduce water cut by sealing the thief zone and redistributing the water drive.
  • Can polymer gels reduce water production?
  • Polymer gels have been designed and successfully applied to improve sweep efficiency and to reduce excessive water production by minimizing reservoir heterogeneity.
