What is partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA)?

Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) polymers are used as additives to bentonite water based fluids to stabilize shales and in HTHP applications because of better thermal stability (PHPA). It also acts as coating on cuttings preventing agglomeration minimizing fluid loss and aiding cuttings transport.

What is PHPA powder?

Acuro's PHPA Powder is a synthetic co-polymer of anionic nature and high molecular weight, which is used in drilling of mud systems ranging from low solids to weighted muds. The cost-effective completion of Oil-drilling projects is largely dependent on the quality of its fluid systems.

What is anionic polyacrylamide?

UPSCHEM Anionic Polyacrylamide is widely used as Drilling Fluids Additives, Friction Reducer in Oilfield, and used as Flocculant in Water Treatment and Mining Industries.Anionic Polyacrylamide could be supplied in solid powder and emulsion forms. Besides below regular packing, we could also provide customized packing service

Is PHPA a water soluble polymer?

Description: PHPA is a co-polymer of anionic character and high molecular weight. It is a water-soluble polymer, which is primarily used as a highly efficient fluid loss reducer, Viscosifier and protective colloid for shale’s and cutting in fresh water, calcium, sodium brines and KCL mud systems.

What is PHPA shale stabilizer?

PHPA manufactured by Global Drilling Fluids and Chemicals Limited at its manufacturing Facility in Gujarat, is one of the most Popular Shale Stabilizer for the Oilfield Industry chemically Known as Partially Hydrolyzed Poly Acrylamide (PHPA). Description: PHPA is a co-polymer of anionic character and high molecular weight.

How does PHPA work in oil drilling?

The cost-effective completion of Oil-drilling projects is largely dependent on the quality of its fluid systems. Acuro's PHPA powder offers stability to the borehole by forming a thin layer called filter cake that seals formation of openings, thereby reducing fluid loss.
