  • 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.
  • 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 ).
  • Does friction reducer (polyacrylamide) influence calcite dissolution (pore generation)?
  • This study is more about rate comparison between with or without PAM, and thus provides key information on friction reducer (polyacrylamide) influenced calcite dissolution (pore generation) and benefits the design of hydraulic fracturing fluids.
  • 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.
