Polyacrylamide in Oil and gas field

2026-04-22

In the drilling, oil extraction, and natural gas industries, proper water treatment is critical yet often overlooked. With stricter environmental policies, issues such as drilling mud disposal, oilfield produced water, and wastewater discharge have become major challenges. As a Chinese water treatment materials manufacturer with 28 years of experience, we understand the complexities and provide effective solutions.

Common Water Treatment Challenges in Oil, Gas & Drilling:

⭕High solids content in drilling mud, hard to separate
⭕High oil content in produced water, difficult oil-water separation
⭕COD, salinity, and suspended solids exceed discharge limits
⭕High treatment cost, low reuse rate
⭕Scaling and corrosion in pipes and equipment

How Our Products Solve These Problems

Polyacrylamide (PAM)

⬩ Enhances solid-liquid separation in drilling mud
⬩ Different types (cationic, anionic, nonionic) for various systems
⬩ Key role in oil displacement and produced water treatment

Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) & Aluminum Chlorohydride (ACH)

⬩ Effective coagulants for oilfield wastewater
⬩ Improve settling and clarity when used before PAM

Calcium Chloride & Ferrous Sulfate

⬩ Adjust mud density and electrolytic balance
⬩ Shorten settling time and boost separation efficiency

Polymeric Ferric Sulfate (PFS)

⬩ Used in pre-treatment of high-color, high-iron wastewater

Glucose & Sodium Acetate

⬩ Provide carbon source in biological treatment for reinjection water

Polyacrylamide in Oil & Gas Industry

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is widely used in drilling fluids, enhanced oil recovery, and produced water treatment. Its powerful bridging and adsorption capabilities make it vital for solid-liquid separation and oil-water clarification, improving both recovery efficiency and wastewater treatment.

FAQ

Q1: How do you handle drilling mud efficiently?

A: Coagulation with PAC followed by PAM flocculation ensures rapid solid settling.

Q2: Which product works best for oily wastewater?

A: Use ACH or PFS for coagulation, then cationic PAM for flocculation.

Q3: Is PAM environmentally safe?

A: Yes, our PAM meets ISO and REACH standards and is safe for use in water treatment.

Q4: What’s the difference between PAC and ACH in oilfield water?

A: PAC is ideal for turbidity removal, while ACH performs better in oily or low-temperature water.

Q5: Do you offer custom formulations?

A: Yes, we tailor solutions based on water sample analysis.
