Oil-water interfacial tension, wettability alteration and foaming studies of natural surfactant extracted from Vernonia Amygdalina

Oil-water interfacial tension, wettability alteration and foaming studies of natural surfactant extracted from Vernonia Amygdalina

Surfactant flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method for recovering residual oil in the reservoir through mechanism of interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration. Due to toxicity and high cost associated with conventional surfactants, recent research has focussed on devel...
