“…Rostami et al (2017) studied the effect of lysine derivative aminoacid surfactant on IFT reduction and wettability alteration; wherein IFT reduced from 35 to 19.6 mN/m, and the wettability of the rock changed toward water-wet by decreasing the contact angle from 160° to 119°, and consequently, the oil recovery was increased to 53.9% OOIP. Nabipour et al (2017) used two anionics ([C12mim][Cl] and [C18mim] [Cl]) and five most common (AN-120, NX-610, NX-1510, NX-2760, andTR-880) surfactants to reduce IFT and increase oil recovery. Their results showed that the minimum IFT was 0.07 mN/m and a maximum oil recovery up to 62.1% OOIP were achieved using an anionic surfactant with a concentration of 4000 ppm (Nabipour et al 2017).…”

Experimental investigation into l-Arg and l-Cys eco-friendly surfactants in enhanced oil recovery by considering IFT reduction and wettability alteration

Surfactant flooding is an important technique used to improve oil recovery from mature oil reservoirs due to minimizing the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water and/or altering the rock wettability toward water-wet using various surfactant agents including cationic, anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric varieties. In this study, two amino-acid based surfactants, named lauroyl arginine (l-Arg) and lauroyl cysteine (l-Cys), were synthesized and used to reduce the IFT of oil-water systems and alter the wettability of carbonate rocks, thus improving oil recovery from oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. The synthesized surfactants were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses, and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of surfactant solutions was determined using conductivity, pH, and turbidity techniques. Experimental results showed that the CMCs of l-Arg and l-Cys solutions were 2000 and 4500 ppm, respectively. It was found that using l-Arg and l-Cys solutions at their CMCs, the IFT and contact angle were reduced from 34.5 to 18.0 and 15.4 mN/m, and from 144° to 78° and 75°, respectively. Thus, the l-Arg and l-Cys solutions enabled approximately 11.9% and 8.9% additional recovery of OOIP (original oil in place). It was identified that both amino-acid surfactants can be used to improve oil recovery due to their desirable effects on the EOR mechanisms at their CMC ranges.

“…The application of surfactants and related systems, such as micro and nanoemulsions, on wells stimulation and EOR has shown good results in experimental studies (Zengying & Guocheng, 2010;Liu et al, 2010;Castro Dantas et al, 2014;Sofla et al, 2016;El Batanoney et al, 1999;Hosseini-Nasab et al, 2016;Nandwani et al, 2017). These systems allow the preparation of less toxic formulations, with low interfacial tension and specific properties to the application.…”

Well stimulation and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) plays an important role in oil production. Microemulsions and nanoemulsions fluids have been studied as a fluid to enhance the efficiency of these processes. In EOR, the chemical methods act on the alteration of physicochemical rock/fluid properties reducing the residual oil saturation and increasing the displacement of oil in the porous medium. Several authors have investigated the use of acid micro and nanoemulsions as systems of production enhancement. The study, under different conditions, indicated that acid nanoemulsion systems present a potential to be used as a retarded acid system, stimulating carbonate formation using a low concentration of surfactant and oil phase, offering an alternative fluid system to stimulate production in carbonate formations, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. Overall, this paper presents a review of laboratory studies of production improvements and enhanced oil recovery using microemulsion and nanoemulsion systems.

“…These compounds have got more attention because of their remarkable properties [14 -16]. In water, the behave of ILs like typical surfactants, because they form micelles under the concentration above the critical micellar concentration [17]. Howbeit, compared with typical conventional surfactants, there are some differences amongst them because they have only a short hydrophobic chain [18 -20].…”

Polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles with uniform morphology and good dispersion were prepared by using the task-specific Ionic Liquid (IL) 1-ester-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EAMIM]BF4) as a soft template by chemical oxidation in a water-IL medium. The morphological, structural and electronic properties of polyaniline (PANI) products, controlled by the IL [EAMIM]BF4, were synthesized and investigated. Products were characterized by SEM, FT-IR and the measurements of conductivity. The addition of [EAMIM]BF4 strongly influenced the morphology, uniformity, and conductivity of the PANI. Depending on the [EAMIM]BF4:ANI ratio, various nanostructures of PANI could be prepared and the dominant morphologies are the rod-like and fiber-like elongated structures under most experimental conditions. Samples prepared in the presence of IL [EAMIM]BF4 show uniform morphology, good dispersion and good electrochemical performance. At the current density of 0.5 A/g, the specific capacitance of PANI was 396 F.g-1. Compared with the PANI without ionic liquids, the specific capacitance was increased by 165 F.g-1.
