The molecular explanation for polyacrylamide viscosity reduction in high-salinity formation-water
Many oilfields report that the viscosity of polymers in high-salinity reservoirs will decrease significantly. In this paper, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the molecular configuration and network of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) molecules in high-salinity formation-w...
