| dc.description.abstract | The demand for crude oil will more than triple in the next thirty years. One way in which additional oil may be obtained is by an increase in the efficiency of displeasing oil from reservoir rock. At the present time the injection of water is the most popular method of displacing oil from sub-surface reservoirs. New and improved methods are needed to recover more oil than can be recovered by water. One of the newest methods for recovering oil from reservoir rock uses micro-emulsions. Micro-emulsions consist essentially of hydrocarbon, surfactant, co-surfactant (stabilizing agent), and water. Laboratory research has indicated that micro-emulsions may be effective agents for displacing oil from reservoir rock. Micro-emulsions can be used in either secondary or tertiary oil recovery operations. ... | en |
