About Us

The new method proposed (PAMA) is particularly useful when only Brookfield-type viscometers are available. In its standard configuration, this apparatus allows only the measurement at 7.3 s^-1 to be carried out. The methodology we propose enables the evaluation in the field of the full rheological curve (viscosity against shear rate) of HPAM solutions.

See Our Top Applications

We use an approach that allows to know the rheological curve by using existing tools in the field. Under the hypothesis of the implementation of universal viscosity models involving the estimation of the superposition parameter C[η], with a single measurement in conventional viscometers at a shear rate equal to 7.3 s-1.

Solutions

PAMA

This methodology provides the coefficients of the Carreau-Yasuda Law when the temperature of the solutions is close to 25 °C.

PAMA-T

Useful for predicting the rheological behavior of polymeric solutions when they are encountered between 25 and 70 °C at any surface or bottom reservoir facility.

PAMA-DR

Allows to determine the degraded volume fraction of any polymeric solution, and the rheological behavior of these degraded solutions.

PAMA-E

Useful to determine the energy efficiency and CO2 emission reduction of injection processes and the impact of degraded solutions.
