Disclosed is a temperature stabilized aqueous wettability composition and method of use for the recovery of petroleum from subterranean formulations. Said aqueous wettability composition comprises a polyethylene oxide nonionic surfactant, a disulfonated anionic surfactant, and one or more alcohol.

Low-temperature stabilized surfactant blend for enhanced oil recovery

The present invention includes a foam-forming composition for use in enhanced oil recovery, and a method of using said foam-forming composition for recovering oil. The foam-forming composition of the present invention comprises a nonionic surfactant, in particular an alcohol-alkoxylate, and an anionic surfactant, in particular an alkyl diphenyloxide (di)sulfonate, where the foam-forming composition promotes a formation of a stable foam formed of a COand water.

Co-surfactant foam-forming composition for enhanced oil recovery

Embodiments of the present disclosure include modified nonionic surfactant formulations having a nonionic surfactant and a pour point depressant, where the modified nonionic surfactant formulations have a pour point of &#x2212;54&#xb0; C. to &#x2212;75&#xb0; C. In one or more embodiments, the modified nonionic surfactant formulations can be introduced into a flow of carbon dioxide, where the flow of carbon dioxide and the modified nonionic surfactant formulation are injected into an oil containing reservoir. In one or more embodiments, an emulsion of the carbon dioxide and the nonionic surfactant form in the oil containing reservoir, where the use of the pour point depressant provides minimal interference in forming the emulsion.

Modified nonionic surfactant formulations for enhanced oil recovery

A method for recovering oil from an oil bearing formation including the steps of: i) recovering an oil-water mixture from the oil-bearing formation; ii) separating at least a portion of the oil from the oil-water mixture to form a produced water; iii) adding a polymeric alkylene oxide surfactant having a Mw of less than 10000 Da to the produced water; iv) passing the produced water through a polymeric membrane to form a permeate stream and a retentate stream; and v) injecting the permeate stream into the oil bearing formation.

Filtration and reuse of surfactant-containing produced water for oil recovery

A curable epoxy resin composite composition including a reinforcing material and an epoxy resin composition, and a process for preparing a composite from such composition; wherein a combination of at least one alkanolamine and at least one styrenated phenol are present in the epoxy resin composition in a sufficient amount to increase the rate of reaction of the at least one epoxy resin and the at least one alkanolamine curing agent while maintaining the thermal and mechanical properties of the composite upon curing of the epoxy resin composition.
