Effect of Jatropha Bio-Surfactant on Residual Oil during Enhanced Oil Recovery Process

Surfactants are generated in situ during alkaline flooding when the injected alkali react with organic acids in crude oil. This commercial surfactant produced in oil-brine interface, decreases interfacial tension (IFT) leading to additional oil recovery. The aim of this study is to examine the performance of a specific surfactant on oil recovery. These include injection of surfactant (a...
