Abstract

The invention concerns a water based foaming composition and the method of making it. The composition is optimized in that it contains a surfactant specifically selected according to the polymer also present in the composition. The surfactant and the polymer are selected so that they are oppositely charged. The invention is very useful in drilling or treating wells.
