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...
