Investigation of interfacial tension of surfactant in low salinity water for enhanced oil recovery application

Vu, Yen (Master thesis, 2013)

Surfactant flooding is known as a very good method to improve oil recovery. Many experimental studies in laboratories have shown the effectiveness of this method to increase the percentage of oil coming up from the core ? ...
Partitioning of surfactants between the water and oil phases and relations to enhanced oil recovery methods

Teigen, Erlend (Master thesis, 2014)

The focus in this master thesis has been to investigate how a varying Ca2+/Na+ mole fraction affects the interfacial tension of a surfactant/brine - dodecane/toluene interface. It has also been investigated how the same ...
The Effect of Calcium Ions on Oil-Brine-Surfactant Interfacial Properties and the Relation to Surfactant Enhanced Oil Recovery at Low Salinity

Tichelkamp, Thomas (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:228, Doctoral thesis, 2015)

The present thesis addresses the effect of calcium ions on the interfacial chemistry between oil and solutions of anionic surfactants, and its relevance for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods at low salinity. A number ...
