Oil extraction defoamer: the key to break through the exploitation dilemma and improve the efficiency of oil recovery

Oil, as an important energy pillar of global economic development, faces many challenges in its exploitation process, and the bubble problem is one of them. In the process of oil exploitation, foam will not only affect the exploitation efficiency, but also lead to resource waste and environmental pollution. The application of oil defoamer provides an effective solution to break through this dilemma and becomes a key factor to improve oil recovery efficiency.


During the drilling phase of oil production, a large amount of drilling fluid is required to cool the drill bit, carry cuttings, and balance formation pressure. However, the drilling fluid in the circulation process, due to the mixing with the air and various additives, easy to produce a lot of foam. These foams reduce the density and chip carrying capacity of the drilling fluid, resulting in inadequate bit cooling, increased bit wear, and even the possibility of serious incidents such as leakage and sticking. Oil extraction defoamer can quickly reduce the surface tension of foam in drilling fluid, make the foam burst quickly, and restore the normal properties of drilling fluid. Through the use of defoamer, the drilling process is smoother, the drilling efficiency is greatly improved, and the incidence of drilling accidents is reduced, ensuring the safety of oil exploitation.

In the production stage of oil production, the problem of bubbles can not be ignored. In the process of waterflood oil recovery, in order to improve oil recovery, it is necessary to inject a lot of water and oil displacement agent into the reservoir. These injected fluids are mixed with crude oil in the reservoir, which is easy to produce foam, hinder the flow of crude oil, and reduce oil recovery efficiency. Oil production defoamer can effectively eliminate the foam in the reservoir, improve the flow of crude oil, make the crude oil flow to the bottom of the well more smoothly, and increase the oil recovery rate. In addition, in the process of crude oil gathering, transportation and storage, the existence of foam will also affect the quality of crude oil and storage stability. Oil extraction defoamer can quickly eliminate the foam in crude oil, prevent crude oil oxidation and deterioration, and ensure the quality and safety of crude oil during transportation and storage.

The development and application of oil defoamer is an important measure for the oil industry to cope with the exploitation challenge. By solving the problem of bubbles, it improves the efficiency and safety of oil exploitation, and reduces the waste of resources and environmental pollution. With the continuous development of oil extraction technology and the continuous growth of energy demand, oil extraction defoamer will continue to innovate and improve, providing more powerful support for the sustainable development of the oil industry. Behind every drop of precious oil, it is inseparable from the contribution of oil extraction defoamer, which is helping the oil industry to continue to move forward on the road to ensure energy supply.
