STUDY OF MICELLES SIZE INFLUENCE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESIDUAL OIL DISPLACEMENT

https://doi.org/10.31660/0445-0108-2015-5-36-40

Abstract

This paper presents the results of laboratory studies of the influence of the size of compound micelles created by a mixture of anionic surfactants, received from low quality hydrocarbon raw materials, and nonionic surfactants on the efficiency of residual oil displacement from highly water-encroached beds. It has been proved that varying the anionic/nonionic surfactant proportion in the mixture influences considerably on the size of the micelles formed, their interfacial activity and efficiency in high-viscosity oil displacement.
