Abstract

See full text

A method for reducing the interfacial tension between a hydrocarbon fluid and a surfactant mixture solution during chemical enhanced oil recovery includes introducing a surfactant mixture solution to a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, thereby reducing the interfacial tension at a liquid-liquid interface of the hydrocarbon fluid and the surfactant mixture solution. The surfactant mixture solution includes a polyacrylamide polymer, a brine solution, and a surfactant mixture. The surfactant mixture includes an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, and a nonionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant may include organosulfate. The cationic surfactant may include a quaternary ammonium, a brominated trimethylammonium, a chloride trimethylammonium, or combinations thereof. The nonionic surfactant may include a polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, a phenylated ethoxylate, or combinations thereof.
