Hydraulic fracturing is the main measure for increasing oil and gas injection in oil and gas fields. In recent years, due to the foreign monopoly of guar gum, leading to the supply tension in international market which affect the progress of fracturing. Moreover prices of guar gum rose sharply, resulting in a substantial increase in the cost of fracturing. In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a new type of fracturing fluid to replace the guar gum system fracturing fluid for the geological characteristics of the oil field, so as to reduce the cost of fracturing and ensure the smooth construction of fracturing. Polyacrylamide is often used to carry out oil displacement and profile control and water shutoff. The gelation performance is similar to that of guar gum and the cost is relatively lower. Therefore, it is of great practical value to develop the formulation of polyacrylamide fracturing fluid. Polyacrylamide fracturing fluid has been used widely in oil...

Polymer is a substance that greatly increases the viscosity of the liquid which mixed with this polymer and water. Polymer flooding is mainly to use polymer to increase the viscosity of injected water, reduce the ratio of oil to water flow, and increase sweep efficiency. Firstly, from the rheology of the polymer, it can be seen that the viscosity of the water increases significantly after adding the polymer, and the higher concentration of the polymer, the stronger of the viscosity. In addition, when the rock surface is hydrophilic, the polymer is easily adsorbed on the surface. When the injected water passes through the surface of the adsorbent layer, the thin film of the adsorbent layer expands, thereby reducing the effective permeability of the aqueous phase. When the oil comes into contact with the adsorbent layer, no swelling will occur. Therefore, in oil layers with very low oil saturation, the use of polymers can significantly reduce the flow of water, increase the sweep efficie...
