DESCRIPTION:
HAYFOAM-A is a specially developed
biodegradable foaming agent for use in oil and gas drilling in fresh water to
seawater.
APPLICATION:
HAYFOAM-A is used in stiff foam
and mud misting operations. It is useful in drilling unstable formations,
large diameter holes and in lost circulation conditions. In a wide range of
varying drilling conditions, HAYFOAM-A produces high quality foam of the most
desirable consistency (in bubble and uniformity) for efficient air-foam
drilling. HAYFOAM-A also reduces sticking tendency of wet clays, thereby
eliminating mud rings, wall packing and the like.
Resulting benefits are:
Improving the carrying capacity of air, reducing hydrostatic head, maximizing
penetration, suppressing dust in dry air drilling, allowing special drilling
techniques, permitting the recovery of larger and harder cuttings.
TREATMENT:
0.5% -1% volumetric is recommended
and HAYFOAM-A can be used with proper viscosifiers to make stiff foam and
stable foam.
