Surface active reagents were generally used in aqueous-based stimulation fluids to lower the interfacial tension that restricts fluid flow in the rock matrix. JKN-ZP-1 surfactant lowers the capillary pressure by both improving the wettability of the pore throat and reducing the interfacial tension. Both laboratory testing and field results have shown that JKN-ZP-1 can provide superior cleanup due to the wetting properties and surface tension reduction that lead to lower capillary pressures. The use of JKN-ZP-1 results in less swabbing time, faster cleanup, and more complete recovery of the stimulation fluids.
