Improvement of Heavy Oil Recovery by Nonionic Surfactant/Alcohol Flooding in Light of the Alkane Carbon Number and Interfacial Tension Properties

Ahmad Mohamed Alsabagh et al.

Summary: In this work, nonionic surfactants were prepared from waste cooking oil materials and demonstrated promising surface-active properties. The surfactants showed minimum interfacial tension at specific alkane carbon numbers, which was further studied with different alcohols for enhanced oil recovery in chemical flooding processes. Additionally, the results showed that the surfactant derived from palm kernel fatty acids had a higher oil recovery compared to the one obtained from palm fatty acids when used with specific alcohols.
