A synergistic approach to enhanced oil recovery by combining in-situ surfactant production and wettability alteration in carbonate reservoirs

A synergistic approach to enhanced oil recovery by combining in-situ surfactant production and wettability alteration in carbonate reservoirs

Abstract A strong alkali was hydrolyzed in the presence of acidic oil to produce an anionic surfactant to prevent the decline in surfactant value. Also, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was considered the surfactant, and sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate were the alkalis. We examined the mechanism o...
