Can silicon dioxide nanoparticles improve the performance of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Silicon dioxide (SiO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been recently proposed to increase the performance of polyacrylamide (PAM) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications.

Are acrylamide-based polymers suitable for enhanced oil recovery?

Polymers for enhanced oil recovery: a paradigm for structure–property relationship in aqueous solution Some key features to consider when studying acrylamide-based polymers for chemical enhanced oil recovery Green DW, Willhite GP. Enhanced oil recovery.

Can polyacrylamide be used as a viscosifying agent?

Polyacrylamide (PAM) and its derivatives as viscosifying agents have been widely used for PF application , , and could provide more oil recovery up to 60% .

Can alumina/ graphene oxide induced hydrolysed polyacrylamide (HPAM) polymer enhance oil recovery?

This paper investigates the potential of Alumina/Graphene Oxide (AGO) nanocomposite induced hydrolysed polyacrylamide (HPAM) polymer as a nanopolymer suspension for enhanced oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs. AGO nanocomposite was synthesised and characterised.

Who supplied crude oil & polyacrylamide?

Crude oil with 28.2 API o gravity, viscosity 10.6 cP and Polyacrylamide with 25% degree of hydrolysis, molecular weight 15 × 10 6 Da and 98% purity in powder form were supplied by ONGC, Chennai, India.
