Foaming Agents / Surfactants

Amphoteric

CWF-311

blend of alcohol ether sulfates

Blend of different, complex, alcohol ether sulfates that is effective in fresh or hard water, saturated brines, and in the presence of oil up to 350°F (177°C). Highly biodegradable. Concentrations range from 1-5 gal/1000 gallons (1-5 L/mᵌ) as a surfactant and 5-15 gal/1000 gallons (5-15 L/mᵌ) as a foamer.

Non-ionic

NE 201

nonyl phenol resing with additional surfactants

Nonyl phenol resin with additional surfactants that functions as a non-emulsifier and surface & interfacial tension reducer. Leaves the formation "water-wet" to assist in well clean up after fracturing and acidizing treatments. Normal concentration is 1-2 gal/1000 gallons (1-2 L/mᵌ).

NE 409

blend of non-ionic surfactants

Blend of non-ionic surfactants specially designed for preventing emulsions formed during well fracturing treatments utilizing hydrocarbon based fluids. Compatible with all of APChem's hydrocarbon-based fracturing fluid systems and has no effect on the gelling properties. Normal concentration is 1-5 gal/ 1000 gallons (1-5 L/mᵌ).
