EOR, often called tertiary recovery, is a set of advanced techniques employed in the oil and gas industry to extract additional hydrocarbons from reservoirs that cannot be effectively recovered using primary or secondary methods. These mature oil fields have significantly declined production rates, leaving a substantial volume of oil trapped underground. One of the primary EOR techniques is water flooding, where water is injected into the reservoir to displace oil and push it towards production wells. However, water and oil tend to separate, resulting in a phenomenon known as fingering, where water channels through the reservoir, leaving large pockets of trapped oil. Polyacrylamide is used to modify the viscosity of injected water, reducing fingering and ensuring a more even sweep of the reservoir. This process, known as polymer flooding, enhances oil recovery rates.
In addition, agriculture relies on polyacrylamide for soil conditioning and erosion control. PAM-based soil conditioners help improve water infiltration, reduce soil erosion, and enhance crop yields. It is also used in irrigation systems to improve water distribution. In the paper and pulp industry, polyacrylamide is a retention and drainage aid during papermaking. It aids in increasing the retention of fine particles, improving paper quality, and reducing wastewater generation.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been known for its robust construction industry, characterized by iconic skyscrapers, large-scale infrastructure projects, and ambitious urban development initiatives. As per the Dubai Statistics Center, in 2022, there were 13,236 buildings under construction in Dubai and 1,941 completed buildings. Rapid urbanization has increased demand for housing, commercial spaces, transportation networks, and public amenities. Cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi have grown substantially, requiring more infrastructure and real estate developments. Therefore, the demand for polyacrylamides will increase significantly in the LAMEA region.
