Abstract
An improved anionic overbased waterflood additive comprises a base component, a first sulfonate component derived from an alkylation reaction product employing a branched-chain alkene as the alkylating agent, and a second sulfonate component derived from an alkylation reaction product employing a partially chlorinated normal alkane as the alkylating agent, wherein the base component is present in the weight ratio range of 3/100 to 300/100, base component to total sulfonate, and wherein the weight ratio of the first sulfonate component to the second sulfonate component is in the range of 1/9 to 9/1. The overbased waterflood additive may be formed prior to injection into a petroliferous formation or may be formed in situ by first injecting the total sulfonate followed by the base component.
