Extensive studies have been conducted on the efficacy of vegetable oils as surfactant
feedstocks for enhanced oil recovery. This has become necessary owing to environmental …

Surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) has effectively removed dense
nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) from the contaminated aquifers. However, restricted …

Oil recoveries from medium and heavy oil reservoirs under natural recovery production are
small because of the high viscosity of the oil. Normal water flooding procedures are usually …

This research focuses on heavy crude recovery using the dual recovery process of
macromolecules formulated from environmentally friendly seed oil and polymer (Xanthan …

High technical and financial risks are involved in exploring and exploiting new fields; hence,
greater focus has placed on the development of environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and …

The interfacial tension (IFT) of fluids plays an essential role in industrial, biomedical, and
synthetic chemistry applications; however, measuring IFT at ultralow volumes is challenging …

Primary oil recovery is the first stage of hydrocarbon production in which a reservoir uses its
natural energy to force hydrocarbon to its wellbore. Secondary oil recovery comes to play …

1 In this work, the effect of distilled water, a biodiesel viscosity reducer, and a commercial
nonionic surfactant on the apparent permeability of clay-sand cores through the analysis of …

Surfactant flooding is adjudged one of the most promising chemicals enhanced oil recovery
(cEOR) methods due to its high microscopic sweep efficiency. This surfactant shows high …

Surfactants are known for their unique property in lowering the interfacial tension (IFT) amid
fluids injected and heavy crude oil of 22.3° API. In this present work, an original surfactant …
