Water soluble solid foaming composition
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5941976
This is a completely water-soluble solid or stick surfactant composition which produces quantities of foam when mixed with water. The foaming agent can be used in both fresh water and salt water and is principally used to help remove water from drowned or partially drowned gas wells. The composition, which consists essentially of a nonionic type, foaming-producing, surface-active agent such as the polyoxyethylated higher aliphatic alcohols and a compatible water-soluble weighting material, is blended or mixed together and compacted together in a predetermined or desired geometric shape. Any water-soluble organic or inorganic material which is a solid at normal temperature and which does not form a precipitate with calcium, magnesium, sulfate, or hydroxyl ions may be used as the weighting material. The material should also have sequestering or chelating properties and the ability to water-wet formations. (13 claims)
