How to Solve Foam Challenges in Oilfields? Chemi Tech Defoamers Guard Production

At a gathering station in a western oilfield, Engineer Wang stared anxiously at the fluctuating tank level data on the monitor. Thick foam churned relentlessly atop the viscous crude oil, acting like a stubborn barrier. It distorted accurate level measurement and severely hampered subsequent gas-oil separation and dehydration efficiency. Each production delay silently eroded operational profits.

This encapsulates the pervasive foam challenge in oil extraction—from downhole operations to pre-refining stages. Foam plagues drilling fluid circulation, crude degassing, and produced water treatment, reducing equipment capacity, increasing energy consumption, and potentially triggering safety incidents. Conventional defoaming methods often offer fleeting results or lack compatibility with complex oil systems.

Chemi Tech's technical team, deeply immersed in field conditions, developed a specialized defoamer series for oil extraction. Core advantages include:

1. Targeted Defoaming Power: Unique molecular structures precisely disrupt foam film surface tension for instant collapse of stubborn oil-gas foam.

2. Long-Lasting Performance: Resists high temperatures, shear forces, and maintains superior foam suppression in harsh acidic, alkaline, or high-salinity environments.

3. System Compatibility: Customized formulations address diverse scenarios like light crude, heavy oil, and polymer-flooded produced fluids.

In the gathering station trial, adding just 0.5% Chemi Tech defoamer resolved visible foam layers within 72 hours. Tank levels stabilized, separator throughput increased by 15%, and dehydration efficiency improved—finally easing Engineer Wang's concerns.

Chemi Tech understands that the pure separation of every drop of crude oil impacts extraction value. We leverage chemical innovation to eliminate foam barriers in oil production, ensuring smooth and efficient processes, and safeguarding the steady flow of the energy lifeline.
