New surfactant classes for enhanced oil recovery and their tertiary oil recovery potential

New surfactant classes for enhanced oil recovery and their tertiary oil recovery potential

We investigate four different types of surfactants for effectiveness in tertiary oil recovery (TOR). The selected surfactant formulations were tested for enhanced oil recovery using coreflood tests on Berea sandstones. In addition to the corefloods, one sandpack surfactant flood was performed. The p...
