To address the aforementioned issues, a novel intelligent foaming agent was created. This resulted in the development of a self-defoaming intelligent foaming agent system. The study focused on analyzing key performance indicators of the foaming agent system, including temperature resistance, salt resistance, oil resistance, phase transition temperature point, foaming ability, foam half-life, liquid carrying capacity, and self-defoaming ability. The experimental findings indicate that TS-1 and ESAB exhibit favorable foaming performance and stability under the conditions of 90°C temperature, 20 × 10 4 mg / L salinity, and 40% condensate oil content after a 1:1 mixture. Additionally, they are capable of undergoing phase transition within the temperature range of 12 to 15.2°C. The Waring blender stirring method resulted in the foaming agent solution, which had a concentration of 3g/L, reaching a volume of 487 mL. The foam's half-life was 20 minutes, and the liquid carrying rate was 91.7%. After a duration of 20 minutes, the rate of self-defoaming was 81.6%. The addition of the self-developed synergist facilitated the defoaming process, which was successfully accomplished within a time frame of 10 minutes. Moreover, the self-defoaming rate achieved a remarkable 100%. The foam drainage agent system may autonomously react to variations in ambient temperature and achieve phase transition behavior through temperature stimulation. This is accomplished by utilizing the natural temperature difference between the bottom hole and the wellhead during foam drainage gas recovery operations. This innovation presents a novel concept for the foam drainage agent used in recovering drainage gas. It simplifies the operation of gas recovery in oil and gas wells, reduces the expenses associated with foam drainage in oil wells, and offers a solution for enhancing cost-effectiveness and efficiency in the oil and gas industry. It holds immense theoretical and practical importance.
