    摘要: A method of treating a subterranean geological formation comprising hydrocarbons comprising injecting a foam into the formation at a rate and pressure sufficient to open at least one fracture therein and a method of completing a well in a subterranean geological formation penetrated by a well bore comprising introducing a foam into the well bore of the subterranean geological formation and carrying out a completion operation in the well bore of the subterranean geological formation. The foam comprises a liquid hydrocarbon and a nonionic polymeric surfactant comprising fluorinated repeating units, wherein the fluorinated repeating units have up to 5 perfluorinated carbon atoms, and wherein a one weight percent solution of the nonionic polymeric surfactant in kerosene has a foam half-life at 22 °C of at least 10 minutes.
