Abstract
Methods for determining an optimal surfactant structure for oil recovery are described. These methods systematically evaluate surfactants' phase behavior at ambient and at reservoir conditions; cloud point from ambient to reservoir conditions; dynamic interfacial tension at ambient and at reservoir conditions, including crude oil bubble images and fitting drop profiles; static contact angles at ambient conditions and dynamic contact angles at reservoir conditions; spontaneous imbibition at ambient conditions; and forced imbibition at reservoir conditions.
