A surfactant composition is used to repel down-hole fluids such as crude oil and water to prevent remote viewing cameras (38) from being obscured by such fluids, for extended periods of time. An effective amount of a down-hole fluid repelling surfactant, preferably in the form of a liquid solution, is applied to an exterior surface of an optical element of the viewing instrument, dried, and polished to prevent down-hole fluids from adhering to the surface of the optical element. A preferred liquid surfactant solution contains as an active ingredient an amount of tricresyl phosphate effective to repel down-hole fluids such as oil and water.

Une composition de tensioactifs est utilisée pour repousser des fluides de fond de trou, tels que du pétrole brut et de l'eau afin d'empêcher des caméras (38) visionnant à distance d'être aveuglées par ces fluides, sur de longues durées. Une quantité efficace d'un tensioactif repoussant les fluides de fond de trou, se présentant de préférence sous la forme d'une solution liquide, est appliquée sur une surface externe d'un élément optique d'un instrument d'observation, séchée, et polie afin d'empêcher les fluides de fond de trou d'adhérer à la surface de l'élément optique. Une solution préférée de tensioactifs liquides contient comme ingrédient actif une quantité de phosphate tricrésyle efficace pour repousser les fluides de fond de trou, tels que le pétrole et l'eau.
