PAMs have been widely applied in oil drilling industry :
1. EOR(tertiary oil recovery)
Enhace oil recovery (tertiary oil recovery): this requires the high molecular weight PAM with high viscosity . Ordinary product can resist a temperature up to 75℃ and a salinity up to 30,000 ppm. Salt-tolerant products can resist a temperature up to 90℃ and a salinity up to 30,000 ppm.
