FA 2-Ultra-Low IFT Surfactant System

FA 2 is an ultra-low interfacial tension oil displacement surfactant system, containing mainly non-ionic surfactants. It is a patented, highly efficient oil displacement agent, specially designed for applications in chemical flooding to enhance oil recovery.

Advantages

  • Salinity tolerance: up to 30,000 mg/L
  • Application temperature: up to 60 ℃
  • Ultra-low interfacial tension: lower to ~ X 10-3 mN/m
  • Ultra-high recovery rate, more than 95% oil recovery from laboratory core flooding experiments
    • Applications/Recommended Treatment

      • Used for surfactant-based chemical enhanced oil recovery for water flooding reservoirs.
      • Laboratory phase behavior experiments showed the easy formation of Windsor III type microemulsion.
      • Core flooding experiments using this oil displacement surfactant system resulted in 70-98% oil recovery
      • Filed application since 2019
      • Field trial OOIP improvement: 3-10%
      • Recommended treatment dosage: 0.2% to 2%

      Typical Properties
