Foamer (soluble Water Foaming)

Applications

Foamer is a safe, water-soluble, proprietary blend of anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants and foam stabilizers. It is designed to produce high-performance foam with excellent solid carrying capacity. It is effective in hard water as well as salt water.

Foamer is a new generation, highly concentrated foam that has been formulated for use in mineral and water well drilling applications

Foamer is specifically formulated to produce a stable, high-density foam in all types of groundwater conditions including brackish, highly saline, and hard water.

Foamer may be used in a variety of air drilling applications from simple rotary air to reverse circulation drilling. Foamer is designed to produce high volumes of foam exhibiting greater bubble strength with superior retention. The combination of these characteristics effectively lowers the air volumes required and significantly improves cuttings trans- portation.

Foamer has proven to assist in regaining returns in highly cavernous formations and through the improved retention values will better control water inflows.

Foamer can be used for dust suppression, mist, and foam drilling, or combined with select polymers and benton- ites. When used correctly Foamer can assist with hole stability, reduce the stickiness of clays and shales, and problems associated with mud rings and bit balling.

Advantages

  • Exceptional foam quality
  • Improves bubble strength and retention
  • Extremely stable foam at low concentrations
  • Tolerates highly saline and hard make-up water
  • Ideal for regaining circulation in cavernous formations
  • Controls water inflow
  • Reduces air requirements and allows deeper drilling
  • Reduces the sticking tendency of clays and shale
  • Improves hole cleaning and increases penetration rates
  • Effective in suppressing dust.
