Rheological demonstration of micellization changes of internal olefin sulfonate and alcohol alkoxy sulfate commercial surfactants upon interactions with inorganic salts

The Enhanced Oil Recovery by Chemical methods (CEOR) is carried out through the injection of polymer and/or surfactant solutions. The polymer allows for the increase of the viscosity of the injected water, while the surfactant decreases the interfacial tension between water and crude-oil under reser...
