Since the introduction of ionic liquids (IL) in 1914, there has been a growing interest in this
class of materials, because of their unique properties. Ionic liquids are organic salts, melting …

Energy supply demand and no more change in the world oil reservoirs still nominate the
surfactant EOR (Enhance Oil Recovery) as a technically promising approach. Effective multi …

In this study, a unique surfactant extracted from a quinoa plant was introduced for enhanced
oil recovery (EOR). The physico-chemical characteristics of extracted saponin as the …

The phase behavior of microemulsion systems comprised of methyl ester sulfonate (MES) as
surfactant, propan-1-ol as cosurfactant, brine and alkane oils with varying chain lengths …

Production from mature oil reservoirs can be optimized by using the surfactant flooding
technique. This can be achieved by reducing oil and water interfacial tension (IFT) and …

Abstract Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) techniques include alkaline, surfactant,
and polymer flooding, as well as their binary and ternary combination such as alkali …

Emulsification is one of the important processes in chemical flooding to mobilize the residual
oil in wells following secondary recovery. Oil displacement efficiency is enhanced and …

Oil spills into the oceans cause irreparable damage to marine life and harms the coastal
population of the affected areas. The main measures to be taken in response to an oil spill …

In this study, the physicochemical properties of a series of synthesized cationic gemini
surfactants with different aliphatic carbon spacer lengths were investigated as an effective …

The oil industry is in search of the stable chemicals that can be applied in drilling,
stimulation, enhanced oil recovery at high temperature and high salinity reservoirs …
