BLUFLOC Anionic Polyacrylamide 20 to 100 Mesh for Oil and Gas Drilling Fluid Stabilization
Product Overview
BLUFLOC Anionic Polyacrylamide is a high molecular weight water soluble polymer powder designed for oil and gas drilling fluid applications. With 20 to 100 mesh particle size, anionic charge and stable powder quality, it can be dissolved into water and used as a functional polymer additive for water based drilling mud systems.
In oil and gas drilling, drilling fluid stability is critical. The mud system must maintain suitable viscosity, carry cuttings, reduce friction, support borehole stability and help control filtrate invasion into sensitive formations. If the drilling fluid is unstable, common problems may include shale swelling, borehole enlargement, poor cuttings transport, excessive fluid loss, unstable rheology and higher drilling risk.
BLUFLOC Anionic Polyacrylamide helps improve the stability of water based drilling mud by enhancing viscosity, supporting suspension, improving mud structure and helping reduce the negative influence of shale and fine solids dispersion. It is suitable for oilfield drilling fluid stabilization, drilling mud rheology control, shale stabilization, lubrication improvement and selected oilfield wastewater treatment applications.

Main Applications in Oil and Gas Drilling
Drilling Fluid Stabilization
BLUFLOC Anionic Polyacrylamide is used to improve the stability of water based drilling fluid systems. It helps the mud maintain better viscosity, suspension and rheological performance during drilling circulation.
Water Based Drilling Mud Additive
This product is suitable for water based mud systems where an anionic polymer is required to improve drilling fluid performance. It can be used as a viscosifier, stabilizing aid and rheology support polymer.
Shale Stabilization
In shale and clay rich formations, water invasion may cause swelling and dispersion. BLUFLOC Anionic Polyacrylamide helps support shale stabilization by improving mud performance and reducing instability caused by poor drilling fluid control.
Borehole Wall Protection
Stable drilling fluid helps protect the borehole wall and reduce formation instability. Anionic PAM supports mud structure and helps maintain better borehole conditions during drilling.
Cuttings Suspension
Drill cuttings must be carried from the bottom of the well to the surface. High molecular weight anionic polyacrylamide helps improve suspension and carrying capacity, reducing the risk of cuttings settling in the mud system.
Fluid Loss Control Support
BLUFLOC Anionic Polyacrylamide can support fluid loss control by improving the polymer structure of the drilling mud. Better filtration behavior helps reduce excessive filtrate invasion into sensitive formations.
Lubrication Improvement
After proper dissolution, anionic PAM forms a polymer solution that can improve lubrication in water based drilling mud. This helps support smoother mud circulation and reduce friction during drilling operation.
Oilfield Wastewater and Mud Water Treatment
In addition to drilling fluid stabilization, BLUFLOC Anionic PAM can also be used in selected oilfield wastewater clarification, mud water treatment and solid liquid separation processes.
Why 20 to 100 Mesh Particle Size Matters
The 20 to 100 mesh particle size is suitable for industrial handling, storage and solution preparation. A controlled granular powder form helps the product disperse into water under proper agitation and supports more consistent solution preparation.
For oilfield drilling operations, correct dissolution is important. If PAM is not fully dissolved, the drilling fluid may not receive stable viscosity improvement, rheology support or filtration control performance. Therefore, the powder should be added slowly into clean water and fully dissolved before being introduced into the drilling mud system.
How BLUFLOC Anionic PAM Stabilizes Drilling Fluid
After dissolution, BLUFLOC Anionic Polyacrylamide forms a high molecular weight polymer solution. When added into a water based drilling fluid system, the polymer chains help improve viscosity, suspension and mud structure.
This supports better drilling fluid stability in several ways:
It helps suspend drilling cuttings and fine solids.
It supports more stable rheology during circulation.
It helps reduce shale dispersion and borehole instability.
It improves mud consistency and circulation performance.
It can support fluid loss control when used in a suitable mud formulation.
Typical Problems This Product Can Help Improve
Unstable drilling mud viscosity
Poor cuttings suspension
Shale swelling and dispersion
Borehole instability
Weak water based mud performance
Excessive filtrate invasion
Poor lubrication during mud circulation
Fine solids dispersion in drilling fluid
Unstable mud rheology under field conditions
Need for a high molecular weight anionic drilling fluid polymer
Recommended Solution Preparation
Prepare the PAM solution at 0.1 to 0.5 percent concentration.
Add the powder slowly and evenly into clean water.
Keep continuous agitation during powder addition.
Recommended agitation speed is 200 to 400 rpm.
Normal dissolving time is about 1 hour.
Avoid adding the powder too quickly because lumping may occur.
Avoid excessive high speed agitation because it may damage polymer molecular chains.
Use the fully dissolved polymer solution before adding it into the drilling fluid system.
Incomplete dissolution may reduce drilling fluid stabilization performance.
General Dosing Guidance
The actual dosage depends on drilling mud formulation, water salinity, temperature, mud density, shale activity, target viscosity, required fluid loss control level and compatibility with other additives.
Laboratory testing or field trial is recommended before large scale application.
For oil and gas drilling fluid stabilization, the product should be tested with the existing mud system to confirm compatibility with salts, fluid loss reducers, lubricants, pH adjusters, weighting materials and other drilling fluid additives.
