A SURFACTANT PACKAGE AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME

Disclosed herein is a surfactant package comprising a base oil, a mutual solvent, and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alcohol ethoxylates, fatty alcohol ethoxylates, alkylphenol ethoxylates, nonoxynols, fatty acid esters of sorbitol, alkyl ether carboxylic acids, ethoxysulfates, and combinations thereof. Also disclosed herein is a wellbore servicing fluid comprising an aqueous fluid and the surfactant package. The wellbore servicing fluid can be used in a method of servicing a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The wellbore servicing fluid has an increased mud removal percentage, is compatible with an OBM and a cementitious fluid, and has reduced environmental impacts. The surfactant package can be added into the wellbore servicing fluid as a single component, which can save storage space and preparation time of the wellbore servicing fluid, thus the surfactant package can be used at a location having limited equipment/tools/space (e.g., an offshore platform). The surfactant package is a homogeneous fluid, which facilitates storage and transportation, and saves preparation time of the wellbore servicing fluid.
