Enhanced Oil Recovery
What is Enhanced Oil Recovery?
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chemicals include surfactants that reduce interfacial tension between oil and brine to mobilize residual oil in reservoirs after primary and secondary recovery.
What is Enhanced Oil Recovery used for?
EOR chemicals are used in chemical EOR flooding; in surfactant-polymer (SP) and alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) schemes; and to increase oil recovery from mature fields. Venus Ethoxyethers manufactures and supplies in India; request a quote for your requirements.
Harcros has spent the last several years focusing on specialty surfactants for EOR applications. The typical Harcros EOR surfactant is capable of reducing interfacial tension at the surface of an oil droplet to ultra-low levels ( < 10-4 dynes/cm). This unique technology is the subject of several, global Harcros patents. The efficacy of these built-for-purpose surfactants stems from the presence of a large hydrophobe, relatively large blocks of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide [(EO)20-45(PO)20-45] and an electrolyte tolerant end-capping group. These Harcros surfactants may be used for both ASP and SP technologies.
