Water-soluble fluorochemical surfactants have been used in the oilfield since the early 1970's as surface tension depressants in a variety of aqueous stimulation fluids for low-permeability oil and gas wells. A discussion is presented of a laboratory study of the behavior of water-soluble fluorochemical surfactants relative to their oilfield use. Data are presented on surface tension depression, thermal stability, adsorption, fluid removal from sandpacks, flow rates, and emulsification tendencies. 7 refs.
