Complementary surfactant compositions and methods for making and using same

A drilling fluid composition comprising a surfactant system including:

• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a first surfactant subsystem,
• 100 wt. % to 0 wt. % of a second surfactant subsystem, and
• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a solvent subsystem based on the wt. % of the surfactant subsystems,
• where the system is tailored to foam the drilling fluid composition including a spectroscopically analyzed crude and/or condensate present in a producing formation.

A completion fluid composition comprising a surfactant system including:

• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a first surfactant subsystem,
• 100 wt. % to 0 wt. % of a second surfactant subsystem, and
• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a solvent subsystem based on the wt. % of the surfactant subsystems,
• where the system is tailored to foam the completion fluid composition including a spectroscopically analyzed crude and/or condensate present in a producing formation.

A fracturing fluid composition comprising a surfactant system including:

• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a first surfactant subsystem,
• 100 wt. % to 0 wt. % of a second surfactant subsystem, and
• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a solvent subsystem based on the wt. % of the surfactant subsystems,
• where the system is tailored to foam the fracturing fluid composition including a spectroscopically analyzed crude and/or condensate present in a producing formation.

A stimulating fluid composition comprising a surfactant system including:

• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a first surfactant subsystem,
• 100 wt. % to 0 wt. % of a second surfactant subsystem, and
• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a solvent subsystem based on the wt. % of the surfactant subsystems,
• where the system is tailored to foam the stimulating fluid composition including a spectroscopically analyzed crude and/or condensate present in a producing formation.

A method for foaming a fluid including a crude and/or condensate comprising:

• analyzing a crude and/or a condensate from a producing formation,
• preparing a surfactant system including:
• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a first surfactant subsystem,
• 100 wt. % to 0 wt. % of a second surfactant subsystem, and
• 0 wt. % to 100 wt. % of a solvent subsystem based on the wt. % of the surfactant subsystems,
• where the system is tailored to foam the fluid including the analyzed crude and/or condensate,
• adding an effective amount of the surfactant system to a downhole fluid, where the effective amount is sufficient to form a stable foam upon addition of a gas, and
• adding a foaming amount of a gas to the downhole fluid sufficient to convert the fluid into a stable foam.
