Foam

The production of unwanted fluids and solids (sediment) within an oil and gas system can be problematic. The accumulation of this material can severely affect productivity or even kill the well. Foaming is a quick, cost effective solution for flushing out the well or pipeline.

Sterling has developed foaming products specifically for the purpose of unloading water from gas wells or pipelines. Our team works with our clients to fully understand the conditions in the well; this ensures proper product selection, application design and creation of an appropriate monitoring program. The application of analytical chemistry on the well fluid is instrumental in determining the correct composition of the chemical blend; a properly managed program will increase well production and reduce or prevent well slugging and/or well loading.

Sterling provides a wide range of solutions, from a simple solid stick (soap stick) application to more complex chemical blends, designed for batch or continuous injection. Sterling will customize, prescribe and implement the most economic and effective solution based on the clients specific production problem. Only the appropriate chemistry will be applied in a given system.
