Alkyl polyglycoside surfactant-alcohol cosolvent formulations for improved oil recovery

Alkyl polyglycoside surfactant-alcohol cosolvent formulations for improved oil recovery

We examine here the suitability of alkyl polyglycosides (APG) for improved oil recovery (IOR) applications. In recent years, these nonionic carbohydrate-based surfactants have become a significant commercial product (80,000 tons/year) with widespread use in household and agricultural products. Our l...
