Is Your Oilfield Polyacrylamide Performing as Expected?

In oilfield operations, success depends on precision. Whether in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), profile control, or drilling fluid conditioning, oilfield polyacrylamide plays a critical role. But how often do you stop to evaluate whether your polyacrylamide is delivering the performance you expect?

Operators often assume all polyacrylamide behaves the same across oilfield environments—but this is far from the truth. Variations in formulation, injection conditions, and reservoir chemistry can drastically affect results.

Why Performance Deviates in the Field

Even the best-formulated polyacrylamide may fall short if the product isn't matched to the environment. The key lies in understanding the common stressors affecting polymer behavior and taking steps to monitor performance proactively.

Cause of Performance Loss Typical Symptoms in the Field Recommended Response
High temperature Viscosity breakdown, poor sweep efficiency Use thermally stable polymers
Oxidative degradation Chain scission, reduced molecular weight Add antioxidants or oxygen scavengers
High salinity or divalent ions Precipitation, poor solubility Choose salt-tolerant formulations
Mechanical shear Shortened chains, low viscosity Optimize injection pressure and equipment
Polymer retention in formation Low recovery rates, high cost per barrel Select appropriate molecular structure

Monitoring key indicators such as polymer viscosity, injection pressure, and oil recovery efficiency can help detect performance issues early.

What Should You Expect from High-Quality Oilfield Polyacrylamide?

A well-performing oilfield polyacrylamide should:

  • Maintain stable viscosity under target reservoir temperature

  • Tolerate brine environments with varying ion concentrations

  • Demonstrate minimal degradation under mechanical shear

  • Be easy to invert and dissolve for field application

  • Offer predictable, consistent recovery performance over time

When any of these criteria are unmet, it may be time to reevaluate your polymer supplier or formulation.

How Can You Improve Polymer Efficiency?

Boosting polymer efficiency in oilfield applications involves more than just switching products. It requires a complete approach including:

  • Customized polymer selection based on reservoir characteristics

  • On-site performance testing through pilot studies and jar tests

  • Continuous optimization based on real-time production feedback

  • Proper storage and mixing practices to prevent early degradation

By addressing the full lifecycle of polymer usage, operators can unlock better EOR performance with reduced chemical consumption and cost.
