Implication of interfacial tension reduction and wettability alteration by surfactant on enhanced oil recovery in tight oil reservoirs

Tight oil reservoir is usually characterized by poor physical properties with oil recovery less than 10%. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of 4 different types of surfactants to change rock surface tension and interfacial tension as well as its impact on enhanced oil recovery...
