Effect of Various Classes of Surfactants on Interfacial Tension Reduction and Wettability Alteration on Smart-Water-Surfactant Systems

Benedicta N. Nwani et al.

Summary: Smart water flooding combined with surfactants can provide favorable interfacial tension reduction and wettability alteration for enhanced oil recovery in low-permeable, mixed/oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. The impact of different surfactant solutions prepared in various brines on fluid-rock and fluid-fluid interactions has been studied, revealing significant effects at specific brine concentrations.

Effect of Reservoir Heterogeneity on CO2 Flooding in Tight Oil Reservoirs

Jiashun Luo et al.

Summary: Carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) is a promising carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology. This study investigates the effects of heterogeneity on CO2 flooding in low-permeable tight formations and finds that porosity heterogeneity intensifies flow channeling and reduces oil production. It also demonstrates that higher injection/production rates and CO2 alternating N-2 injection strategies can improve oil recovery in highly heterogeneous reservoirs.

Surfactant formulation for Green Enhanced Oil Recovery

Ahmed Al-Ghamdi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the efficacy of green surfactants in sandstone reservoirs for chemical enhanced oil recovery. The results show that the RL formulation, consisting of rhamnolipid, alkyl polyglycoside (APG), and lecithin, performed the best in terms of phase behavior, interfacial tension, and core-flooding experiments, with a tertiary recovery of 24% and a total recovery of approximately 70%. These findings contribute to a better understanding of injection design and biosurfactant formulation selection for green enhanced oil recovery technology.

New insights into the mechanism of surfactant enhanced oil recovery: Micellar solubilization and in-situ emulsification

Xue-Zhi Zhao et al.

Summary: This study aims to reveal the roles of micellar solubilization and in-situ emulsification in enhanced oil recovery during surfactant flooding. The results show that micellar solubilization plays a significant role in improving oil recovery in low concentration surfactant solutions, while in-situ emulsification enhances oil recovery through blocking and entrainment effects.

Synergistic effects of surfactants on depressurization and augmented injection in high salinity low-permeability reservoirs: Formula development and mechanism study

Zhang Xiao et al.

Summary: Through laboratory experiments, a new surfactant formula that remains stable and effective in high salinity low-permeability reservoirs was developed. This formula effectively reduces water-injection pressure, unlocks remaining oil in small pores, and improves oil recovery mainly through interfacial tension reduction, emulsification, and wettability alteration. The synergistic effect between surfactants at high salinity conditions enhances the performance of the system.
