Abstract
The main objective of this research was to develop a liquid foaming agent for optimizing gas production in wells belonging to the Santa Rosa field in Área Mayor de Anaco, Venezuela. In this research, three liquid foaming agent formulations were developed with an anionic and amphoteric surfactants mixture, performing tests to evaluate foaming and lifetime on samples with different produced water/hydrocarbon condensate ratios. A liquid drag test was also carried out, explaining the liquid recovery performance after applying the developed formulations at different dosages and finally evaluated products results were compared with a commercial one. Formulation 1 obtained a higher liquid recovery compared to the other formulations, in addition, recovered liquid amount in dynamic drag tests decreased as the condensates composition increased in four samples evaluated. Formulation 1 and commercial product used as a reference did not have statistically significant differences.
