Solving Persistent Foam Challenges in Modern Oilfield Drilling Operations
Sep 05, 2025Drilling defoamers are formulated to address the persistent and costly foaming problem in drilling mud systems. During the drilling process, surfactants, clays, and other additives can trap air and formation gases, forming a stable foam. This foam reduces the density of the drilling fluid, impairing its ability to control wellbore pressure and increasing the risk of blowouts and blowouts. It can also reduce the effectiveness of solids control equipment and lead to inaccurate fluid measurements.
ANTIFOAM's solutions are designed to provide fast and lasting foam elimination. Their products offer the following features:
