A new breakthrough in oil exploration! High temperature silicone defoamer helps double drilling efficiency

In the process of oil drilling, mud foaming is one of the key problems that lead to the decrease of drilling rate and the increase of energy consumption. Foam not only reduces mud density and affects well control safety, but also reduces pumping efficiency and accelerates bit wear. High temperature silicone defoamer, specially designed for oil exploration, provides reliable guarantee for deep oil and gas development with excellent temperature resistance (up to 260℃) and salt resistance (suitable for brine system).

1. The hidden cost of drilling foam Reduced drilling rate: Foam reduces mud rock carrying capacity and drilling rate decreases by 15% to 25%.

Equipment loss: pump valve cavitation risk increased, maintenance costs increased by 30%;

Safety risk: The pressure imbalance at the bottom of the well may cause a blowout accident.

Second, the technical highlights of the product Extreme environmental stability: effective in mud with pH 10-14 and 20% salt content;

Fast defoaming: eliminate foam within 5 seconds, dynamic defoaming time > 8 hours;

Environmentally compatible: no heavy metal components, compliant with API 13A standards, does not affect mud recovery.

3. Application cases of shale gas Wells The challenge: A shale gas well with a depth of 4,500 meters and a temperature of 200 ° C experienced severe foaming resulting in a daily penetration of only 80 meters. Solution: Add 0.05% defoamer to the mud circulation system. Results:

The daily footage was increased to 110 meters, and the drilling cycle was shortened by 22 days.

The failure rate of mud pump is reduced by 40%, saving maintenance costs of 850,000 yuan;

Foam-related energy consumption decreased by 18% and per-well costs decreased by 12%.
