  • Does high volume hydraulic fracturing cause degradation of polyacrylamide?
  • Here we explore a non-chemical mechanism-mechanical degradation of polyacrylamide under ultrahigh shear rates unique to high volume hydraulic fracturing operations. The fundamental understanding enables us to estimate the extent and chemistry of degradation given geological and operational conditions.
  • Does multiple exposure of Pam cause branched fractures?
  • Branched fractures are likely to form during hydraulic fracture propagation, introducing polymer to multiple flow events into narrow fractures.29 To investigate the effects of multiple exposure of PAM to high deformation rates, we conducted multiple cycles of mechanical degradation.
  • 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.
  • Does shale fracturing cause oxidative degradation of Pam?
  • The shale sample adsorbed some PAM (∼30%), but importantly it catalyzed the chemical degradation of PAM, likely due to dissolution of Fe 2+ at low pH. These results provide the first evidence of radical-induced degradation of PAM under HPT hydraulic fracturing conditions without additional oxidative breaker.
