FOAMING AGENTS |
|---|
| INTRODUCTION
Foaming agents are used to suspend air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide in the aqueous phase of a fracturing, acidizing, or gelled acid stimulation treatment. Depending on the gas to liquid ratio and the volume of foaming agent used, the resultant fluid may exist as a true foam, or gas energized fluid. These types of fluids are very beneficial when rapid fluid recovery and cleanup are desired, and/or when a gas charge to a low pressure reservoir kicks off production. |

Anionic biodegradable liquid, multi-purpose foamer. May be used in air drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and stable (stiff) foam applications. OILAID-FA-1 performs well in a variety of waters including heavy brines, sulphur water, and hard water. It is compatible with alcohol when a water block removal system is required. Typically loaded from 0.25 to 1.0 gal/1000 gallons by volume. |
Amphoteric foamer for acid, water, brines, alcohol fracturing fluid system. It is designed to provide excellent proppant transport properties and low fluid loss. Because it is an amphoteric surfactant, it is compatible with most corrosion inhibitors used in acid systems. It provides stable foams at temperatures up to 350° F, and is also stable in the presence of clay solids, crude oil, condensate, and all normally occuring oilfield waters. Loaded from from 0.1% to 2.5% (by vol). |
Zwitterionic, water soluble surfactant foaming agent for use in acid stimulation systems. Typically loaded from 0.5 - 1.0% (5 - 10 GPT). |
