Behavior of Polyampholytes in Aqueous Salt Solution

  • Chapter
Water-Soluble Polymers for Petroleum Recovery

Abstract

The role of ionic polymers in enhanced oil recovery is well recognized (1). Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide is the most widely used ionic polymer for this purpose as it produces a high viscosity in fresh water at a reasonable cost. However, anionic polyacrylamide rapidly looses its viscosity in solutions containing added electrolyte. In addition, polyacrylamides are sensitive to shear degradation.
