Interfacial Activity and Surface Behavior of Oleic Acid-Based Surfactants for Improved Oil Recovery in Sandstone Reservoirs
This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of two newly designed oleic acid–derived surfactants (SMP-02 and SMP-04) in combination with natural polymer (guar gum) for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) applications. The surfactants possess very good thermodynamic and surface characteristics with Gibbs free energy of ads...
