Oilfield Defoamer Solutions - Chemi Tech Professional Foam Control

Foam formation during oilfield operations significantly impacts production efficiency. Drilling fluid circulation systems generate persistent foam due to surfactants and high-pressure conditions, reducing mud density and compromising wellbore stability. In crude oil degassing processes, foam diminishes separator capacity, prolongs processing time, and may cause tank overflow. Conventional defoamers often suffer from poor temperature resistance, limited persistence, or compatibility issues.

Chemi Tech delivers targeted solutions based on foam mechanism analysis:

1. Diagnostic Analysis: Identify foam causes and fluid characteristics through field sampling and lab simulation

2. Custom Formulation: Develop silicone-polymer hybrid systems with modified polymers for stability in high-temperature/high-salinity environments

3. Process Integration: Design automated dosing systems for injection points (e.g., mud circulation tanks, degasser inlets)

4. Performance Validation: Dynamically adjust dosage via real-time monitoring of foam height and density

A case study demonstrated 92% foam reduction in a drilling fluid system after using Chemi Tech's defoamer, with mud density fluctuation narrowed to within 0.2g/cm³ and wellbore cleaning efficiency improved by 30%. In crude oil processing, degassing cycle time was reduced to 65% of original duration, preventing unplanned shutdowns.

Our defoamers feature rapid bubble-breaking and long-term suppression capabilities, compatible with oilfield chemicals without interfering with downstream processes. Chemi Tech offers full technical support to help clients establish standardized foam management protocols.
