FA 2-Ultra-Low IFT Surfactant System

FA 2 is an ultra-low interfacial tension oil displacement surfactant system primarily composed of non-ionic surfactants. This patented, high-efficiency agent is specifically engineered for chemical flooding applications to enhance oil recovery in challenging reservoir environments.

Key Advantages

  • Salinity Tolerance: Up to 30,000 mg/L
  • Temp Stability: Application up to 60 ℃
  • Interfacial Tension: Ultra-low, down to $~ X \cdot 10^{-3} mN/m$
  • Recovery Rate: > 95% oil recovery in lab core flooding

Typical Properties

  • Appearance: Dark brown Liquid
  • Product Activity: 65% – 75%
  • Specific Density: 0.97 – 1.05 g/cm³
  • Viscosity: < 1000 cp
  • Flash Point: > 210 °F (100 °C)
  • Pour Point: < 32 °F (0 °C)
  • Solubility: Fully water soluble

Applications & Performance

  • Primary use in surfactant-based chemical EOR for water flooding reservoirs.
  • Phase behavior tests confirm easy formation of **Windsor III type microemulsion**.
  • Experimental core flooding yields **70% to 98% oil recovery**.
  • Field proven since 2019 with OOIP improvements of **3% to 10%**.
  • Recommended Dosage: 0.2% to 2.0%.
