Short-hydrophobe surfactants based on cosolvent species have been studied as novel surfactants for enhanced oil recovery. The objective of this research is to investigate such simple surfactants as...

The goal of this work is to study the effect of crude oil on worm-like micelles and identify any oil-tolerant systems. A new class of nonionic surfactants was synthesized that forms viscous worm-like micelles under a wide range of temperature and sal

A new class of ultrashort hydrophobe surfactants with cosolvent characters was investigated as a sole additive to conventional polymer flooding for heavy oil recovery. No alkali was used for emulsi...

This paper presents an experimental study of use of pyrrolidine solutions to induce the oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion of Athabasca bitumen without using synthetic surfactants. Pyrrolidine, an organic alkali, acts not only as an alkali that generates na

Summary Water is the most dominant component in steam-based oil-recovery methods, such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). The central question that motivated this research is whether in-situ bitumen transport in SAGD can be substantially enha

Recovery of bitumen commonly uses steam assisted-gravity drainage, in which water throughput is intrinsically high. A large amount of condensed water near thermal fronts tends to substantially decrease the effective permeability to bitumen in the con

In this work, we report a novel class of a commercially available surfactant which shows a multistimuli-responsive behavior toward foam stability. It comprises three components—a hydrophobe (tristyrylphenol), a temperature-sensitive block (polyprop

Summary The rheological behavior of microemulsion systems was systematically investigated with mixtures of oil, brine, surfactant, cosolvent, and in some cases polymer to determine their effects. A microemulsion-rheology model was developed and used
