  • What factors affect the performance of polyacrylamide-based friction reducers?
  • An important variable that highly affects the performance of polyacrylamide-based friction reducers is ion content. Performance, therefore, becomes dependent on both the ion type (cationic, anionic, monovalent or divalent) and the concentration present in the source water (Xu et al., 2016).
  • Can polyacrylamides be used as friction reducers?
  • Recently, due to cost savings and operational efficiencies (fewer chemicals and less fracturing equipment on location) the use of polyacrylamides as friction reducers has expanded.
  • 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.
  • Are friction reducer performance and source water chemical composition related?
  • In this research, correlations are established between friction reducer performance and source water chemical composition, allowing operators to shorten the learning curve within their fracturing operations, use the most appropriate fluid systems, and potentially mitigate job failures.
